Final answer:
Jason travels 10.0 m farther than Adam.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how much farther Jason travels than Adam, we need to calculate the distance each of them covers. Adam runs at a constant speed of 6.0 m/s for 10.0 s, so his distance is given by:
Distance = Speed × Time
Distance = 6.0 m/s × 10.0 s = 60.0 m
Jason accelerates from 4.0 m/s to 10.0 m/s in 10.0 s. We can find his average speed using the formula:
Average Speed = (Initial Speed + Final Speed) / 2
Average Speed = (4.0 m/s + 10.0 m/s) / 2 = 7.0 m/s
Then, we calculate his distance using his average speed and the time:
Distance = Average Speed × Time
Distance = 7.0 m/s × 10.0 s = 70.0 m
Therefore, Jason travels 70.0 m - 60.0 m = 10.0 m farther than Adam.
