Question

Two trucks are travelling down the road. Truck A covers a displacement of 3 miles in 1 minute. Truck B covers a displacement of 4.5 miles in 1 minute. Which of the following correctly explains which truck is faster?

a-Truck A is faster because it covers less displacement in the same amount of time
b-Truck B is faster because it covers a greater displacement in the same time
c-Truck B is faster because its takes more time to cover a greater displacement

Answer 1

Answer: B

Step-by-step explanation:

Truck B placed 4.5 and truck A placed 3

Answer 2

Truck B is faster because it covers a greater displacement in the same amount of time compared to Truck A.

The correct option is b-Truck B is faster because it covers a greater displacement in the same time

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks which truck is faster given their displacements over the same time period. To determine the faster truck, we compare the displacements they cover in 1 minute.

Truck A covers a displacement of 3 miles in 1 minute, while Truck B covers a displacement of 4.5 miles in the same amount of time. Since speed is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time, Truck B is faster because it covers a greater displacement in the same amount of time.

To determine which truck is faster, we need to compare their displacements per unit time.

Truck A covers a displacement of 3 miles in 1 minute, while Truck B covers a displacement of 4.5 miles in 1 minute. Since Truck B covers a greater displacement in the same amount of time, we can conclude that Truck B is faster.

The correct option is b-Truck B is faster because it covers a greater displacement in the same time
