Distance Time Graph and Speed Calculation for a Racing Car:
- Data:
- Time (s): 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
- Distance (m): 0, 15, 30, 45, 60, 75
- Distance Time Graph:
- Plot the time on the x-axis and distance on the y-axis
- Connect the points (0,0), (1,15), (2,30), (3,45), (4,60), (5,75) with a straight line
- Interpreting the Graph:
- The graph shows a linear increase in distance covered by the racing car over time
- Calculating Speed:
- Speed = Distance / Time
- Speed at time 2 seconds:
- Distance at 2 seconds = 30m
- Time at 2 seconds = 2s
- Speed = 30m / 2s = 15m/s
- Explanation:
- The distance-time graph visually represents the motion of the racing car
- The speed calculated at 2 seconds gives the rate at which the car covers distance
- The linear nature of the graph indicates a constant speed of the racing car
By following the above steps, you can create a distance-time graph from the given data and calculate the speed of the racing car at a specific time. This analysis helps in understanding the motion and speed of the car during the race.
