Question

multiple choice question a red car has an instantaneous acceleration of 16 m/s² westwards while a blue car has an instantaneous acceleration of 8 m/s² westwards. based on this information, what can be correctly stated about their motion? the blue car is traveling faster than the red car. we do not know which car is traveling faster. both cars are traveling at the same speed. the red car is traveling faster than the blue car.

Explanation:

Acceleration describes the rate of change of speed (velocity), not the speed itself. No information about the instantaneous speed of either car is provided, only their acceleration values. We cannot compare their speeds with the given data.

Answer:

We do not know which car is traveling faster.
