If the caterpillar keeps moving at the same speed, how long will it take to travel 6cm?

If The Caterpillar Keeps Moving At The Same Speed How Long Will It Take To Travel 6cm class=

Sagot :

It will take 15 s to travel 6 cm

Further explanation

Given

distance versus time graph

Required

time travel

Solution

Caterpillar motion is a straight motion with a constant speed, so that the graph between distance and time forms a diagonal line

If we look at the graph, we can determine the time taken when the distance reaches 6 cm (y axis) by drawing a line to the diagonal line and cutting the x-axis as time, and we get 15 s

Or we can also use the formula for motion at constant speed:

d = v x t

With v at point 2,5 of 2/5 m / s, so the time taken:

[tex]\tt t=\dfrac{d}{v}=\dfrac{6}{2/5}=15~s[/tex]
