8.

Explain the concept of constant acceleration.

a)

Constant acceleration refers to the situation where an object's velocity changes by the same amount in each equal time period.

b)

Constant acceleration is when an object's velocity changes at random intervals.

c)

Constant acceleration means the object is at rest and not moving at all.

d)

Constant acceleration refers to the situation where an object's velocity remains constant over time.

9.

What is the relationship between distance, speed, and time?

a)

distance = speed x time

b)

distance = speed - time

c)

distance = speed / time

d)

distance = speed + time

10.

How does air resistance affect the acceleration of an object?

a)

It reduces the acceleration of the object.

b)

It has no effect on the acceleration of the object.

c)

It causes the object to stop accelerating.

d)

It increases the acceleration of the object.

11.

What is the effect of gravity on the acceleration of a falling object?

a)

It increases the acceleration of the object.

b)

It has no effect on the acceleration of the object.

c)

It reduces the acceleration of the object.

d)

It causes the object to stop accelerating.
