By definition, speed is the integral of acceleration with respect to time.
We have then:
As the acceleration is constant, then integrating we have:
Where,
vo: constant of integration that corresponds to the initial velocity
We observe then that the speed varies linearly when the acceleration is constant .
Therefore, for constant acceleration, the velocity is changing.
Answer:
an object with a constant acceleration always have:
A. changing velocity
