Question

both paths below take robin exactly 100 seconds to walk. when walking which path did robin have the faster average speed? use the claim, evidence, reasoning format. path 1: 25 m 10 m 25 m 45 m path 2: 25 m 50 m 30 m claim: evidence: reasoning:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate distance of Path 1

Add up lengths: $25 + 10+25 + 45=105$ m

Step2: Calculate distance of Path 2

Add up lengths: $25+50 + 30 = 105$ m

Step3: Recall speed - time relationship

Since time for both paths is 100 s and speed $v=\frac{d}{t}$ (where $d$ is distance and $t$ is time), and $d_1 = d_2=105$ m, $t_1=t_2 = 100$ s.

Step4: Determine average speed

Average speed for both paths $v_1=v_2=\frac{105}{100}=1.05$ m/s

Answer:

Robin had the same average speed on both paths.
