Critical Thinking Two cars are side by side on a path where friction is negligible. Car A starts from rest and has a positive, constant acceleration while car B travels at a constant speed. The cars reach the same check point down the road at the same time.

(a) Which car is traveling faster at the check point? Briefly explain your reasoning.

(b) Based on experimental data, an equation that fits the data is suggested for the speed of car A at the check point, V, which may not be correct: V = KV₀, where K is a constant with appropriate units and V₀ is the initial velocity of car B. Is this equation consistent with your answer from part a? Explain why or why not. Does this equation make sense? Explain why or why not.

(c) Graph the velocity of car A and the velocity of car B vs. distance along the path, starting when the cars are side by side.
