Question

The chart shows the times and accelerations for three drivers.

A 3-column table with 3 rows. The first column labeled drover has entries Kira, Dustin, Diego. The second column labeled acceleration has entries 5.2 meters per second, 8.3 meters per second, 6.5 meters per second. The third column labeled time has entries 6.9 seconds, 3 seconds, 4.2 seconds.

Which lists them from greatest to lowest change in velocity?

Dustin → Diego → Kira
Dustin → Kira → Diego
Kira → Dustin → Diego
Kira → Diego → Dustin

Answer 1

Change in velocity = acceleration × time.

Kira: 5.2 × 6.9 = 35.88
Dustin: 8.3 × 3 = 24.9
Diego: 6.5 × 4.2 = 27.3

Order greatest to lowest: Kira → Diego → Dustin.
