Math Problem Statement

This distance-time graph shows a person's journey. Between which two times was the person stopped?

Solution

From the graph in the image, we are tasked to find the periods when the person was stopped during their journey.

To determine when the person was stopped, we look for horizontal sections of the graph where the distance traveled remains constant (i.e., no movement occurs).

Analysis:

  1. The horizontal section between 08:40 and 09:00 indicates that the person was stopped, as the distance did not change during this time.
  2. There are no other horizontal sections in the graph.

Final Answer:

The person was stopped between:

  • 08:40 and 09:00

Related Questions:

  1. How can we determine the speed of the person during a specific interval on the graph?
  2. What does the slope of the graph represent?
  3. How can we calculate the total time the person was in motion?
  4. How do you identify acceleration or deceleration from a distance-time graph?
  5. What other types of information can we infer from this graph?

Tip:

In distance-time graphs, horizontal lines always indicate periods of rest, while steeper slopes represent faster speeds!
