If an apple falls a distance of 2 meters in its first second of fall, then 2 meters in its next second of fall, and again 2 meters during its third second of fall, the acceleration of the apple is

1) 0 m/s2. 2) 2 m/s2. 3) 4 m/s2. 4) 10 m/s2. 5) actually, more than 10 m/s2. This is because 6) no change in velocity occurs during fall. 7) the apple increases in distance by 2 meters for each successive second. 8) the average velocity is 1 m/s for each successive second. 9) its weight is counterbalanced by its inertia.
