If two automobiles have the same acceleration, do they have the same
velocity? Why or why not?


Sagot :

Answer:

No

Explanation:

Acceleration = Velocity/Time

An example of where the velocity would be different is:

Acceleration = [tex]\frac{10\ m/s}{2s}=5\ m/s^2[/tex] (automobile 1)

Acceleration = [tex]\frac{25 \ m/s}{5 s}=5\ m/s^2[/tex] (automobile 2)

As you can see, the velocity for the first automobile is 10 m/s while the second one has a velocity of 25 m/s (with a greater time travelled) and both resulted in the same acceleration of 5 m/s².
