Answer:

The white car will cover the most distance every second.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the uniform speed of an object is given as follows:


s = vt

where,

s = distance covered by the object

v = speed of the object

t = time required

Now, if we assume time to be constant at 1 s. Then the distance covered by each car will be directly proportional to the speed of the car. Hence, the car with the greatest speed will travel the greatest distance in 1 second.

We, have:

Speed of white car > Speed of red car > Speed of green car

Therefore, the white car will cover the most distance every second.
