Question

velocity assessment
car a goes 800 miles in 8 hours. car b goes 400 miles in 4 hours. which car is traveling faster?
car a
car b
both are traveling the same speed
not enough information to calculate

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate speed of Car A

Speed = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$, so for Car A, speed $v_A=\frac{800}{8}=100$ miles per hour.

Step2: Calculate speed of Car B

For Car B, using the same formula, speed $v_B=\frac{400}{4}=100$ miles per hour.

Answer:

Both are traveling the same speed
