问题 Mechanical toy cars A, B, and C, each traveling at its own uniform rate, started from the same point at the same time and raced a 400-meter course. When A crossed the finish line. B was 40 meters behind A, and C was 58 meters behind A. When B crossed the finish line, how many meters was C from the finish line?

选项 A、16
B、18
C、19
D、20
E、22

答案D

解析 机械玩具车A、B和C在同一时间、同一地点出发,各自以均匀的速度参加400米比赛。当A越过终点线时,B车落后A车40米,C车落后A车58米,问当B车越过终点线时,C车离终点线还有多远?
解:本题的正确答案为(D)。此题是一道极易被考生做错的题。大多数考生都这样认为:当A到终点时,B和C相差(58-40)=18米,由于B和C都是匀速行驶的,所以B车到终点时,两者的距离保持不变,仍为18米。而实际上,因为B和C两车的运动速度不同,所以在最后的40米,B和C两车之间的距离会加大。B和C匀速运动,在前360米相差了18米,设在最后的40米B和C相差的距离将增大x,则根据题意可列出下面的方程:18/360 = x/40 → x=2;所以B车越过终点时,C车距中点还有18+2=20米。
