Question

An object moves with a constant acceleration of 5 m/s². Which of the following statements is true?
Options
A The object's velocity stays the same
B The object moves 5 m each second
C The object's acceleration increases by 5 m/s² each second
D The object's acceleration decreases by 5 m/s² each second
Correct Answer

Option E is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Constant acceleration of 5 m/s² means the velocity changes by 5 m/s every second. It does not mean the object moves 5 m each second (that would be constant speed).

Hint

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
