Question:
Fig (below) shows the distance-time graph of three objects A,B and C. Study the graph and answer the following questions:
(a) Which of the three is travelling the fastest?
(b) Are all three ever at the same point on the road?
(c) How far has C travelled when B passes A?
(d) How far has B travelled by the time it passes C?
Answer:
(a) Object B is travelling the fastest. We can determine it in two ways. Slope of the distance-time line represents the speed of the object. In this case, object B has the highest slope.
(Note: slope is also represented by the angle subtended by the distance-time line with x-axis. Steeper the angle, higher the speed.)
(b) No all objects never meet at the same point.
(c) When B and A meets at point m, the Object C is at n, which is approximately 8km on distance axis.
(d) B meets C at point k. The position on distance-axis is 9 units away from origin O. One unit on distance-axis = 4/7 (7 units = 4km). ∴ Object B is = 9 x 4/7 = 5.14 km.
