The position as a function of time for two objects moving along a straight line is shown in the graph Which statement is true about the distances the two objec class=

Respuesta :

The distance traveled by object 1 is greater than the distance traveled by object 2.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. More distance is covered when the path of motion is curved.

The distance traveled by each object at different time is compared as follows;

[tex]at \ t_ A , \ \ \ d_1>d_2 \ \ \ (d_2 = 0)\\\\at \ t_B, \ \ d_1 > d_2 \\\\at \ t_C, \ \ \ d_2 > d_1 \\\\at \ t_D \ \ \ d_1 = d_2\\\\at \ t_f \ \ \ d_2 > d_1 \ \ \ (d_1 = 0)[/tex]

The major distinguishing distance traveled by each occurs at [tex]t_B[/tex] and [tex]t_C[/tex].

[tex]d_{(t_B)} > d_{(t_C)} \\\\d_1 > d_2[/tex]

Thus, we can conclude that the distance traveled by object 1 is greater than the distance traveled by object 2.
