Here's why:
* Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
* Constant acceleration means the velocity changes at a steady rate.
* If the velocity changes by the same amount every second, this indicates a consistent rate of change, which is constant acceleration.
Examples of constant acceleration:
* A ball falling freely under gravity experiences constant acceleration due to the Earth's gravitational pull.
* A car accelerating from rest at a steady rate is also experiencing constant acceleration.
