Isn't that acceleration?b) it depends how long each object took to get to that speed
Forum Guidelines said:Homework Help:
On posting questions: Any and all high school and undergraduate homework assignments or textbook style exercises for which you are seeking assistance are to be posted in our Science Education Zone. This should be done whether or not the problem is part of one's coursework. The reason for this is that the scientific and mathematical sections of Physics Forums are to be reserved for discussions and not academic assistance. Since graduate level assignments are meant to be more thought provoking (and hence more worthy of discussion), graduate level questions will be allowed in the relevant part of the main section of PF, provided that the graduate student attempts the problem and shows his work. NOTE: You MUST show that you have attempted to answer your question in order to receive help.
On helping with questions: Any and all assistance given to homework assignments or textbook style exercises should be given only after the questioner has shown some effort in solving the problem. If no attempt is made then the questioner should be asked to provide one before any assistance is given. Under no circumstances should complete solutions be provided to a questioner, whether or not an attempt has been made.
Have you ever been to a drag race in which elapsed time and trap speeds are displayed? If so, can you explain what you saw?marsh said:i need some help on these two question
is it possible for the with the highest speed crossing the finish line to lose the race? why
if one object has a higher speed than the second one then does it mean the first one has a higher accelaration?
thanks
Speed refers to the rate at which an object covers distance, while acceleration refers to the rate at which an object's velocity changes over time. In simpler terms, speed is the measure of how fast an object is moving, while acceleration is the measure of how quickly an object's speed is changing.
Yes, it is possible for an object with a slower speed to win a race against an object with a faster speed. This is because speed only measures how fast an object is moving, while factors such as acceleration, strategy, and distance can also play a role in determining the winner of a race.
Yes, an object with a higher acceleration can still lose a race against an object with a lower acceleration. This is because acceleration is not the only factor that determines the outcome of a race. Other factors such as speed, distance, and strategy can also play a role.
Yes, it is possible for an object with a faster speed to have a lower acceleration than an object with a slower speed. This is because speed and acceleration measure different aspects of an object's motion and are not directly related to each other. An object's speed can be affected by factors such as friction and air resistance.
Speed and acceleration can both play a role in determining the outcome of a race. Generally, an object with a higher speed and/or acceleration has a better chance of winning a race, but there are other factors that can influence the final result. For example, a slower but more agile object may be able to outmaneuver a faster object in a race with twists and turns, or a longer distance may favor an object with better endurance rather than just speed and acceleration.
