5. A learner is studying the constant acceleration of three different cars and gets the following results:

Car A changes its speeds from 10 m/s to 30 m/s in a time interval of 2 s.

Car B changes its speeds from 10 m/s to 40 m/s in a time interval of 3 s.

Car C changes its speeds from 10 m/s to 50 m/s in a time interval of 4 s.

Which of the following gives the correct relationship about the acceleration of the three cars?
A. Acceleration of Car A = acceleration of Car B = acceleration of Car C
B. Acceleration of Car A > acceleration of Car B = acceleration of Car C
