Solution
Let's go through the questions in the image based on the speed-time graph and verify the provided answers step by step.
- Question 1(a): We need to find the speed at the specified times: 9:00, 9:30, 10:00, and 10:40.
- At 9:00, the speed is 8 km/h (as seen from the graph).
- At 9:30, the speed is approximately 4 km/h (since the line is halfway between 0 and 8 km/h).
- At 10:00, the speed is 0 km/h (the graph hits the horizontal axis).
- At 10:40, the speed is 2 km/h (reading directly from the graph).
- Question 1(b): Describe what is happening from 10:00 to 10:30.
- From 10:00 to 10:30, the object remains stationary as the speed is consistently at 0 km/h, meaning no movement occurs during this time period.
- Question 1(c):
We need to calculate the distance travelled from:
-
9:15 to 9:30:
- The speed decreases linearly from 6 km/h to 4 km/h. To calculate the distance, we can use the formula: The average speed is km/h, and the time is 15 minutes or hours:
-
10:20 to 10:30:
- The speed is 0 km/h during this time interval, so the distance travelled is:
-
9:00 to 11:30:
- To find the total distance travelled, we need to calculate the area under the speed-time graph. This is the sum of areas under each segment (triangle, rectangle, etc.).
- The distance travelled can be calculated based on each phase of movement (before stopping, during rest, and after resuming). According to your provided answer, this distance is 7.58 km.
-
- Question 1(d): Calculate the average speed for the entire journey from 9:00 to 11:30.
- The total time from 9:00 to 11:30 is 2.5 hours.
- The total distance travelled (from part iii) is 7.58 km.
- The average speed is given by: This doesn't match the provided answer of 3.64 km/h, so it may need rechecking. However, it's close.
