b. What is Henry's average speed over the race?

Henry Ran A 100 M Race Use The Graph To Answer The Following A How Long Did It Take For Henry To Run 100 M B What Is Henrys Average Speed Over The Race class=

Sagot :

Using the graph, which describes how Henry ran the 100m race;

a) It takes Henry 20seconds to run 100m

b) Henry's average speed over the race is; 5m/s.

According to the linear graph which describes the distance ran by Henry during the 100m race as a function of time.

a) Since the distance from start ran by Henry is plotted on the vertical axis, and the time is plotted on the horizontal axis;

To determine how long it took Henry to run 100m; The point corresponding to 100m is traced downward from the line of the graph and we find out that;

It takes Henry 20seconds to run 100m

b) Henry's average speed over the race is simply;

The slope of the distance-time graph.

Therefore,

  • Average speed = (100-0)/(20-0)

  • Average speed = 100/20

  • Average speed = 5m/s.

Therefore, Henry's average speed over the race is; 5m/s.
