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
