Question

Chana and Josiah started skating at the same time in the same direction, but Josiah had a head start 10 meters past the starting line. Chana skated 3 meters per second and Josiah skated 2 meters per second.
CORRECT (SELECTED)
Josiah's distance from the starting line at a time when he is behind Chana.

Explanation: Point F is on line a, so it does represent Josiah's distance at a certain time. Also, point F is below line b, so it represents a distance that is less than Chana's distance.

Answer 1

Josiah and Chana travel at constant and different speeds.

• The point F indicates that after 25 seconds Josiah is 60 meters from the starting line but behind Chana

How can the what the the point F represent be known?

Josiah's head start = 10 meters from the start

Josiah's speed = 2 m/s

Chana's speed = 3 m/s

Expressing the distance traveled as an equation, we have;

D = d + s × t

Where;

D = The distance covered

d = The distance from the starting line the runner starts

s = The speed of the runner

t = The time spent running

For Josiah, we have;

D = 10 + 2•t (line a)

For Chana, we have;

D = 0 + 3•t = 3•t (line b)

The above equations are straight line equations.

The point F is on line a, which shows Josiah distance after 25 seconds which is 60 meters. The corresponding point on line b, Chana's distance after 25 minutes is 75 meters.

Therefore;

• The point F indicates that after 25 seconds Josiah is 60 meters from the starting line but behind Chana
