Ok here is the question. This seriously pissed me off for like 20 mins:
A particle starts from rest and travels in a straight line for 4 seconds. If the particle is accelerating at a constant rate, which of the following could be the distances traveled by the particle during each consecutive second?
A) 10m, 20m, 30m, 40m
B) 5m, 15m, 25m, 35m
C) 5m, 25m, 125m, 625m
D) 2m, 4m, 8m, 16m
The answer is B. The explanation seems like something from WAY out in left field. Can somebody explain this to me? Thanks a lot!
