Question

25.) how much distance did the object travel during the entire trip? 26.) how long did the trip take? 27.) what is the average speed for the entire trip? graph 1: distance (meters) 0 10 20 30 time (seconds) 1.0 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0 6.0

Explanation:

Step1: Determine distance

From the graph, the object starts at distance = 30 meters and ends at distance = 0 meters. So the total distance traveled $d=30 - 0=30$ meters.

Step2: Determine time

The object starts at time $t_1 = 0$ seconds and ends at time $t_2=4$ seconds. So the total time taken $\Delta t=t_2 - t_1=4 - 0 = 4$ seconds.

Step3: Calculate average speed

The formula for average speed $v=\frac{d}{\Delta t}$. Substituting $d = 30$ meters and $\Delta t=4$ seconds, we get $v=\frac{30}{4}=7.5$ m/s.

Answer:

1. 30 meters
2. 4 seconds
3. 7.5 m/s
