Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: uniformly accelerated

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: A. uniformly accelerated šŸ“š Explanation: A freely falling body moves under the constant force of gravity, which produces a constant acceleration of 9.8 m/s^2. This type of motion is called 'uniformly accelerated' motion. The speed of the object increases at a steady rate as it falls toward the Earth. This principle was famously demonstrated by Galileo Galilei.
