Given the data, the correct statement is
Even though for a majority of the race they accelerated at the same rate, Beverly won because her initial acceleration was greater than Carl’s
This is defined as the rate of change of velocity which time. It is expressed as
a = (v – u) / t
Where
a₁ = (v – u) / t
a₁ = (15 – 0) / 10
a₁ = 1.5 m/s²
a₂ = (v – u) / t
a₂ = (35 – 15) / 40
a₂ = 0.5 m/s²
a₁ = (v – u) / t
a₁ = (10 – 0) / 10
a₁ = 1 m/s²
a₂ = (v – u) / t
a₂ = (30 – 10) / 40
a₂ = 0.5 m/s²
SUMMARY
From the above calculations, we can see that Beverly's initial acceleration is higher than that of Carl's and their final acceleration is the same.
Therefore, the correct answer to the question is:
Even though for a majority of the race they accelerated at the same rate, Beverly won because her initial acceleration was greater than Carl’s
