Question
A modern car can develop an acceleration four times greater than an antique car. If they accelerate over the same distance, what would be the velocity of the modern car compared to the antique car?
Correct Answer
Option C is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
For the same distance, final velocity is proportional to the square root of acceleration, so four times acceleration gives twice the velocity.
Hint
Use the kinematic equation v² = u² + 2as, starting from rest.
