Answer :

Answer:

Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D

- I just took the quiz and got 100%

Using derivatives, it is found that the correct option is:

A. Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.

The acceleration is the derivative of the velocity, given by change in velocity divided by change in time, that is:

[tex]a = \frac{\Delta_v}{\Delta_t}[/tex]

In this problem:

  • The change in time for objects C and T is the same.
  • The change in velocity for object C is greater, thus, it has a greater acceleration, and the correct option is:

A. Object C has an acceleration that is greater than the acceleration for D.
