In the absence of air friction, an object dropped near the surface of the Earth experiences a constant acceleration of about 9.8 m/s during each second. this means that the a. object falls 9.8 meters during each second b. speed of the object as it falls is 9.8 m/s c. speed of the object increases 9.8 m/s during each second d. rate of change of the displacement with respect to time for the object equals 9.8 m/s^2
c. speed of the object increases 9.8 m/s during each second
