You have a machine which can accelerate pucks on frictionless ice. Starting from rest, the puck travels a distance x in time t when force F is applied. If force 3F is applied, the distance the puck travels in time t is
A) x.
B) (3/2)x.
C) 3x.
D) (9/2)x.
E) 9x.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The distance traveled by the puck is directly proportional to the force applied and the time taken. So, if the force is tripled, the distance covered will also be tripled. Therefore, the distance the puck travels in time t when a force 3F is applied is 3x.
