As an object is undergoing free-fall motion, as it falls, does the object's:

A. Speed increase
B. Acceleration increase
C. Both of these
D. None of these

Asked by vincent14

Answer (3)

The speed will increase, as there is acceleration, while the acceleration will remain constant, as gravity is constant.

Speed is defined as the rate of **change **of the **distance **or the height attained . As an object is **undergoing **free-fall motion. As it falls the object's **speed **will increase .
What is speed?
**Speed **is **defined **as the rate of **change **of the **distance **or the **height **attained. it is a time -**based quantity. it is denoted by u **for the initial speed while v for the final speed . its SI unit is m/sec.

**Acceleration **is linked with **gravity **because g is the gravitational acceleration . **Acceleration **is defined as the rate of change of velocity . As the **velocity **changes the acceleration occurs .
While the value of the gravitational acceleration is constant.Hence as an object is undergoing free-fall motion.As it falls the object's speed will increases .

As an object falls in free-fall motion, its speed increases due to a constant acceleration of approximately 9.8 m/s² from gravity. Therefore, both the speed increases and the acceleration remains constant, leading us to conclude that the answer is C. Both of these.
