danjs · Answer

The units of acceleration, the change in speed for this case, is m/s^2. Which means each second, the rock speeds up a certain amount in m/s.
Meters per second, per second.

anonymous · Answer

The speed of a free fall is solely determined by the gravitational attraction so if g = 20 m/s^2 for each second speed increases by 20 m/s it a constant increase as g is fixed,but speed will increase the rate of increase will remain constant. Relation is V = gT, Displacement will not increase linearly h relation is S = g(T^2)/2
