4. Car A travels 100m in 5 seconds. If car B travels the same distance in 2
seconds, which one is travelling at the faster speed? Explain your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Car B is travelling at the faster speed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The distance covered by car A = 100 m

Time of car A, t = 5 s

The distance covered by car B = 100 m

Time of car B, t = 2 s

We need to find which one is travelling at the faster speed.

Speed = distance/time

For car A,

[tex]v_A=\dfrac{100\ m}{5\ s}\\\\v_A=20\ m/s[/tex]

For car B,

[tex]v_B=\dfrac{100\ m}{2\ s}\\\\v_B=50\ m/s[/tex]

So, car B is travelling at the faster speed.
