Complete Question
Q. Two go-carts, A and B, race each other around a 1.0km track. Go-cart A travels at a constant speed of 20m/s. Go-cart B accelerates uniformly from rest at a rate of 0.333m/s^2. Which go-cart wins the race and by how much time?
Answer:
Go-cart A is faster
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The length of the track is 
The speed of A is 
The uniform acceleration of B is 
Generally the time taken by go-cart A is mathematically represented as
=> 
=> 
Generally from kinematic equation we can evaluate the time taken by go-cart B as

given that go-cart B starts from rest u = 0 m/s
So

=>
=>
Comparing
we see that
is smaller so go-cart A is faster
- Speed is the rate of change of distance with time while velocity is the rate of change of displacement with time.
- Speed is a scalar quantity while velocity is a vector quantity.
- Speed cannot be negative but velocity can be negative.

Answer:
wallah i don't understand anything with my stoopid brain
Explanation:
Answer:
0.06 N
1.08 m/s
Explanation:
m = mass of the fan cart = 0.250 kg
a = acceleration of the fan cart = 24 cm/s² = 0.24 m/s²
F = Net force on the cart
Net force on the cart is given as
F = ma
F = (0.250) (0.24)
F = 0.06 N
v₀ = initial velocity of the cart = 0 m/s
v = final velocity of the cart
t = time interval = 4.5 s
Using the equation
v = v₀ + a t
v = 0 + (0.24) (4.5)
v = 1.08 m/s
