Acar and a delivery truck both start from rest and accelerate at the same rate. however, the car accelerates for twice the amount of time as the truck. what is the traveled distance of the car compared to the truck?
a. half as much
b. the same
c. twice as much
d. four times as much
e. one quarter as much

The traveled distance of the car is four times as much compared to the truck

Acceleration is rate of change of velocity.

a = acceleration ( m/s² )

v = final velocity ( m/s )

u = initial velocity ( m/s )

t = time taken ( s )

d = distance ( m )

Let us now tackle the problem!

Given:

Initial velocity of Car = Initial velocity of Truck = u = 0 m/s

Acceleration of Car = Acceleration of Truck = a

Time Taken of Truck = t

Time Taken of Car = 2t

Unknown:

The Travel Distance of the Car : The Travel Distance of the Truck = ?

Solution:

We will compare the travel distance of the car and truck
