Question

10.) how much distance did the object travel during the entire trip? 11.) how long did the trip take? 12.) what is the average speed for the entire trip? graph d: distance (m) time (s)

Explanation:

Step1: Determine the distance traveled

The object starts at a distance of 500 m (point A) and ends at 0 m (point D). So the distance traveled $d = 500 - 0=500$ m.

Step2: Determine the time taken

The object starts at time $t = 0$ s and ends at $t = 60$ s. So the time taken $\Delta t=60 - 0 = 60$ s.

Step3: Calculate the average speed

The formula for average speed is $v=\frac{d}{\Delta t}$. Substituting the values of $d = 500$ m and $\Delta t = 60$ s, we get $v=\frac{500}{60}=\frac{25}{3}\approx8.33$ m/s.

Answer:

1. The object traveled 500 m.
2. The trip took 60 s.
3. The average speed for the entire trip is $\frac{25}{3}\approx8.33$ m/s.
