Learner's Activity 2 – Speed and distance time graph 1) Distance 300 200 10 20 30 Time The above distance-time graph shows the distance moved by a car over a period of time. a) What is the speed of the car in the first 10 seconds? b) What is the car doing from 10 to 20 seconds? c) What is the speed of the car from 20 to 30secs? Will you be able to tell without calculations if it is travelling faster or slower compared to speed in the first 20 seconds? d) What is the total distance travelled by the car? e) Given the average speed of the car for the whole journey is 12m/s, calculate the value of t. f) What is the car doing in the last few seconds?
