Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

If the object covers 9.8 m every second then it has a constant velocity of 9.8 m/s

The acceleration implies that there is a change in velocity. With a constant acceleration the velocity will change linearly.


S = ut + (1)/(2) gt^2

The distance traveled each second will not be a constant, it will be a quadratic function as mentioned above.
