An engineer wants to build a race car, which will be able to speed up and slow down quickly. She is trying to determine which material to use to build the car. The table shows the material she can choose from which material would best allow the car to speed up and slow down quickly. A. Aluminum.B. Copper.C. Steel.d. Lead
The best material for the engineer to choose in order to allow the car to speed up and slow down quickly would be A. Aluminum. Aluminum is a lightweight material that has a high strength-to-weight ratio, meaning it is strong while being lightweight. This allows the car to have less weight, reducing inertia and enabling it to accelerate and decelerate faster. Copper, steel, and lead are all heavier materials compared to aluminum and would result in a heavier race car, potentially limiting its speed and agility.
