Question

In straight line motion, if the velocity of an object is changing at a constant rate, then its position is _________ and its acceleration is___________: O changing: zero O changing; changing O constant and non-zero; constant and non-zero O None of the above

Answer 1

Answer:

None of the above

It should be position is changing and acceleration is constant.

Explanation:

Since the velocity is changing, this means the object is moving, so the position must also be changing.

Acceleration is the change in velocity in time, if this change of velocity happens at a constant rate, the acceleration must be constant too.

So, for example, if the velocity were to stay the same (not changing), acceleration would be zero, because there wouldn't be a change in time on the velocity.

So in this case the answer sould be position is changing and acceleration is constant. But this isn't in the options so the correct answer is "None of the above"
