Speed and distance

Post by Andyroo »

This has been on my mind lately. Take two identical cars, one does 0-60 in 10 seconds, the other does it in 5.
Do they both cover the same distance to reach 60 or does the faster one travel less distance?? ¿??????

The faster one travels less distance as it accelerates quicker

According to my math, the faster car accelerates twice as fast and does half the distance in half the time.
HOW TO CALCULATE TIME AND DISTANCE FROM ACCELERATION AND VELOCITY :D :D
