Question

Car A and Car B are traveling to the same destination. If Car A is traveling slower than Car B, which statement is true? A) Car B has more energy than Car A B) Car A has more energy than Car B. C) Car A will arrive at the destination first. D) Both cars will arrive at the destination at the same time.

Answer 1

A) Car B has more energy than Car A

Step-by-step explanation:

A) Car B has more energy than Car A

Answer 2

A) Car B has more energy than Car A

Step-by-step explanation:

The kinetic energy of a car is given by:

`K=(1)/(2)mv^2`

where

m is the mass of the car

v is its speed.

In this problem, we know that:

- The speed of car B is greater than the speed of car A

- We assume that the mass of the two cars is the same

Therefore, since the kinetic energy is proportional to the square of the speed, this means that car B has greater kinetic energy than car A.
