Car A is traveling with a constant velocity of 18 [m/s]. Car B speeds up from 0 [m/s] to 10 [m/s] in 4 seconds. Which car has a greater acceleration?

Respuesta :

The car A and car B are travelling at different speeds. The car that has a greater acceleration is car B.

What is acceleration?

Acceleration is defined as the rate change of velocity with time.

acceleration a = (Δv) / (Δt)

Car A is traveling with a constant velocity of 18 [m/s]. The initial and final velocity is same. So, the acceleration is given by

a = (18 -18)/ t

a = 0 m/s²

Car B speeds up from 0 [m/s] to 10 [m/s] in 4 seconds. The acceleration is

a = (10 -0)/ 4

a = 2.5 m/s²

Thus, the car B has greater acceleration.
