We know, acceleration = final velocity - initial velocity / time
Here, if velocity is increasing, then,
Final velocity > initial velocity, in that case, acceleration is also increasing, as it is directly proportional to velocity
In short, Your Answer would be "Yes"
Hope this helps!
It holds more weight in the regular water.
Answer:
The reason is because both are exposed to a virtually infinite heat sink, due to the virtually infinite mass and of the surrounding environment, compared to the sizes of either the cup or the kettle such that the equilibrium temperature,
reached is the same for both the cup and the kettle as given by the relation;

Due to the large heat sink, T₂ - T₁ ≈ 0 such that the temperature of the kettle and that of the cup will both cool to the temperature of the environment
Explanation:
It's the fourth choice.
This is because, since we are closer to the Earth, the Earth will have a stronger gravitational pull on us since again, we are closer.
That also explains tides, but that's just getting off topic. Hope I helped.
