Two particle p and q starting from rest moves along a straight part covers the same distance in time tpandtq respectively.if the acceleration on of p is 4times that of q,determine the ratio of tpandtq
Particle p accelerates 4 times as fast.
It has to travel half as much time to go the same distance as particle q, because the distance is proportional the square of the time.
Distance traveled = (a/2) t^2
Half the time and (t) 4 times the acceleration value (a) gives the same distance.
