A force accelerates a cart from 0 to 5 m/s while it travels 15 meters. Would the same force cause it to accelerate from 5 to 10 m/s while it travels from 15 to 30 meters? (In other words, will the the speed increase by 5 m/s every 15 meters?) Your answer: Yes, the speed will increase by the same amount every 15 meters. No, the speed will not increase by the same amount every 15 meters. The change will only be constant if the object is in free fall.
