True or False?

Is the velocity changing at all times?

true

anonymous · Answer

true because if an object is in the air, the gravitational constant of acceleration is constant its called g = 9.81 m/sec^2  = 32.2 ft / sec^2

False

anonymous · Answer

Could be false, depending on how literally the question is taken. An object can be stationary on the ground and be feeling an acceleration of -9.8 m/s^2. Could also be underwater and be feeling the same downward pull. We feel this pull ourselves, every moment, unless we were suddenly to be free of gravitational force. Even if we're going upward at the same accel and be feeling a net 0, we would actually just be feeling the pull of gravity and the pull of whatever was taking us the opposite direction at the same time.

That's what makes sense to me at least! I've had limited physics training.
