First, a constant force will NOT cause an object to accelerate faster and faster; it will cause a constant (non-changing) acceleration. Only a changing force can cause a changing acceleration. That being said, a constant force can cause an object to move faster and faster--in which case the displacement is changing non-linearly, the velocity is changing linearly, and the acceleration is not changing at all (i.e., it is constant). A related misconception is that a constant force applied to an object will cause it to travel at a constant velocity. This is absolutely NOT true. A constant net force will always cause a constant acceleration--and therefore a changing velocity.
Can someone please explain what this means? Thanks! My professor hasn't replied to me yet.

1))) According to Newton’s laws, an object will remain stationary or move at constant velocity unless acted by a force. If a force (F) is applied, the object will accelerate according to F=m·a, where “m” is the mass of the object and “a” is its acceleration. The unit of force is the Newton (N), N is kg·m/sec a) Consider a stationary object with a mass of 5 Kg, acted on by a force of 10 N. What is its acceleration?...
