Question
What do you mean by constant acceleration?
Solution
A body is said to have constant acceleration, if it travels is a straight line and its velocity increases or decreases by equal magnitude in equal intervals of time.
Ex: the motion of a freely falling body.

A boy throws a ball up and catches it when the ball falls back. In which part of the motion the ball is accelerating?
It is possible to have objects moving with uniform speed but variable acceleration.
Assertion: A negative acceleration of a body can be associated with speeding up of the body.
Reason: Increase in the speed of a moving body is independent of its direction of motion.
