Question

6. Starting from rest, a particle confined to move along a straight line is accelerated at a rate of 5.0 m/s^2. Which one of the following statements accurately describes the motion of this particle? A) The particle travels 5.0 m during each second. B) The speed of the particle increases by 5.0 m/s during each second. C) The particle travels 5.0 m only during the first second. D) The acceleration of the particle increases by 5.0 m/s^2 during each second. E) The fin.il speed of the particle will be proportional to the distance that the particle covers.

Explanation / Answer

B) is correct because acceleration is the rate of change of velocity(speed). so, if acceleration is 5 m/s2 then it means that the speed change by 5 m/s during every second.

others are incorrect.
