Savannah Richardson · Answer 1

both the cars do same amount of work

Explanation:

okay lemme explain here both will have same displacement and thus the work done will be same for both the cars ... what differs is the power

the power of the 2nd car is double times the power of 1st car ... and hence 2nd will make it to the top of mountain first and first car will take double amount of time
