Beverly and Carl are in a race. Their graphs show the data.

A graph with horizontal axis time (seconds) and vertical axis velocity (meters per second). An orange line labeled Beverly starts at 0 seconds 0 meters and goes straight to 10 seconds 15 meters and then to 50 seconds 35 meters. A blue line labeled starts at 0 seconds 0 meters and goes straight to 10 seconds 10 meters and then to 50 seconds 30 meters.

Which best describes the race?


Sagot :

Even though for a majority of the race they accelerated at the same rate, Beverly won because hethe r initial acceleration was greater than Carl’s.

How, explain your answer?

The given parameters are listed as follows:

For Beverly: initial time of motion, t₁ = 10 s

                    initial velocity, u = 15 m/s

                    final time of motion, t₂ = 50 s

                    final velocity, v = 35 m/s

For Carl: initial time of motion, t₁ = 10 s

              initial velocity, u = 10 m/s

              final time of motion, t₂ = 50 s

              final velocity, v = 30 m/s

In summary, Beverly and Carly had the same average acceleration for the majority of the race but the initial acceleration of Beverly was higher than that of Carl, hence Beverly won the race.
