B) travels 9.8 m in every second
C) is increasing its velocity by 9.8 m/s every second
D) is decreasing its velocity by 9.8 m/s every second
3. Which of the following is NOT possible?
A) Velocity directed east and acceleration directed west
B) Velocity directed east and acceleration directed east
C) Velocity is constant, non-zero and changing acceleration

4. When can the average velocity be equal to the average of the initial and final velocity? This can happen
when
A) the acceleration is constant.
C) acceleration is constantly increasing
B) the velocity is zero.
D) acceleration is constantly decreasing
5. Two objects were dropped from the same height with an interval of one second. If there is no air
Resistance, what can you say about the difference in their speed?
A) increases
C) remains constant
B) decreases
D) cannot be determined
6. An object is moving forward with constant non-zero acceleration. The velocity versus time graph
of this object is
A) a curve.
B) a vertical straight line.
7. If the velocity versus time graph of an object is a horizontal line, the object is
A) at rest
C) moving with zero acceleration
B) moving with increasing speed.
D) moving with constant non-zero acceleration.
