An object traveling in a straight line accelerates. What will definitely happen due to the acceleration?

well 2 things could happen 1 it could just keep going 2 well basically acceleration does not depend on time so it could lift off

"Acceleration" means any change in the speed or direction of motion ... speeding up, slowing down, or turning. So . . .

-- The distance traveled in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The displacement covered in a certain time may increase or decrease.

-- The speed of the object may increase or decrease.

-- The velocity of the object (speed/direction) will change.

Hope this helps..
