The two toy cars shown in the figure, with masses as given in the figure, are ready to race. Both cars begin from rest. Assume that the cars' motors supply the same force to each car over the course of a 100-meter race. For each question, state whether the correct answer is car A, \( \operatorname{car} B \), or whether the two cars have equal values for the parameter in question. (a) Which car crosses the finish line \( 100 \mathrm{~m} \) away first? Car A wins. Car B wins. Both cars cross the finish line at the same time. (b) Which car has the larger kinetic energy when it crosses the finish line \( 100 \mathrm{~m} \) away? Car A Car B Both cars have the same kinetic energy.
