Carts a and B Have Equal Masses and Travel Equal $\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }$

question 65

Multiple Choice

Carts A and B have equal masses and travel equal distances D on side-by-side straight frictionless tracks while a constant force F acts on A and a constant force 2F acts on B.Both carts start from rest.The velocities $\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }$ _A and $\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }$ _B of the bodies at the end of distance D are related by

• A) \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _B = \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _A .
• B) \[\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\] _B = \[\sqrt { 2 }\] \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _A.
• C) \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _B = 2 \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _A.
• D) \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _B = 4 \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _A.
• E) \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _A = 2 \(\overrightarrow { \mathbf { v } }\) _B.
