Concept explainers
(a)
The distance the object traveled during the first minute.
(a)
Answer to Problem 54P
The distance traveled by the object during the first minute is 1700 m.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Consider the graph shown below.
Values might differ slightly, as the calculations are obtained by reading the graph.
Formula Used:
Distance is calculated as
Calculation:
As seen in the graph, each block in the velocity-time graph has a total distance equal to
Conclusion:
Thus, distance covered in the first minute is 1700 m.
(b)
The distance the object traveled during the second minute.
(b)
Answer to Problem 54P
The distance covered in the second minute is 500 m.
Explanation of Solution
