Two trains leave a station at the same time, Train A travels at a constant speed of 16 m/s. Train B starts at 8.0 m/s but accelerates constantly at 1.0 m/s squared. After 10.0 seconds, which train has the greater speed?

Answer:

Train B

Step-by-step explanation:

train a is traveling at 16m/s no matter what time since it's a constant

to find final velocity of train B we use

v2=v1 +at

v1 = 8m/s

a = 1m/s squared

t = 10 s

v2 = 8 + 1(10)

v2 = 18

train B travelling at 18 m/s at 10 secs
