If a body falls with a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s², it means ______?

Velocity decreases by 9.8 m/s each second

Velocity increases by 9.8 m/s each second

Velocity remains constant

None of these

A constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s² means that the velocity of the falling body increases by 9.8 m/s every second.

This is the acceleration due to gravity near the Earth's surface.
