Instructions
Use the distance-time graphs provided below to answer the questions that follow. Make sure to refer to the graphs closely to understand the movement of the object depicted.
Graph 1: Distance-Time Graph for a Jogger
1. Based on the graph, how far did the jogger travel after 5 minutes?
2. Describe the jogger's speed during the first 3 minutes.
3. At what point in the graph did the jogger stop running? Provide the time and distance.
Graph 2: Distance-Time Graph for a Car
4. How far did the car travel in the first 10 seconds?
5. What can you infer about the car's motion from the graph? Explain.
6. Identify any periods of rest for the car and explain how you determined this from the graph.
Analysis
7. Compare the movement of the jogger and the car. Which one had a faster speed overall? Explain your reasoning.
8. Imagine you are the jogger or the driver. What factors might affect your speed during the activity? List at least three factors.
