C8: A constant force is exerted on a cart that is initially at rest on an air track. Friction between the cart and the track is negligible. The force acts for a short time interval and gives the cart a certain final speed.


To reach the same final speed with a force that is only half as big, the force must be exerted on the cart for a time interval

1.  four times as long as

2.  twice as long as

3.  equal to

4.  half as long as

5.  a quarter of

that for the stronger force.
