Question

if two runners take the same amount of time to run a mile, they have the same
a acceleration
b force
c mass
d velocity
please select the best answer from the choices provided.
a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement (in this case, running a mile) with respect to time. If two runners take the same time to cover the same distance (a mile), by the formula \(v=\frac{d}{t}\) (where \(v\) is velocity, \(d\) is distance, and \(t\) is time), their velocities are equal.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. There is no information about how their speeds change over time, so acceleration cannot be determined.
Force (\(F = ma\), where \(m\) is mass and \(a\) is acceleration) depends on mass and acceleration. Since neither mass nor acceleration is known to be the same, force is not necessarily the same.
Mass is a property of an object (or a runner's body) and there is no indication that their masses are the same.

Answer:

D. velocity
