Question

Draw a distance time graph from table 1 showing the distance covered by a racing car in fixed interval of time. Calculate the speed of the car.

Answer 1

Answer:

15 m/s

Explanation:

Speed from the distance - time graph can be obtained by the gradient          (slope ) of the graph.

Speed = Distance / time

Distance = 75 - 0 = 75 m

Time = 5 - 0 = 5 s

Speed = 75 / 5 =  15 m/s
