Question

Transcribed Image Text:6. Two cars are at a stop light. When the light turns green the car of mass m
begins to move with acceleration a; the car of mass 2m moves in the same
direction with acceleration a/2. Which car engine delivers the most power?

(b) the car of mass 2m
(c) the power is the
same for both cars
