QUESTION 8 The acceleration of an object at a given instant is constant (but not zero). This means that the velocity of the object at that instant is constant. True False

False! When the acceleration of an object is constant (and not zero), it means that the object's velocity is changing at a steady rate. So, while the velocity might be increasing or decreasing, it is not constant. Think of it like a car accelerating smoothly down a straight road; it starts from a standstill and gains speed over time! To visualize this, picture a rollercoaster! When it goes down a hill, it's constantly accelerating due to gravity. Although the speed is changing, the acceleration remains the same. This constant change in speed keeps the thrill alive!
