Answer:
<h2>B. The amount of fuel used was lowest at speeds around 60km/h.</h2>Step-by-step explanation:
The decreasing part is from (20,13) to (60,6), which gives an average rate of
Then, we have an increasing part from (60,6) to (120,10), which gives an average rate of
Basically, at 60 km/h the fuel used was 6 liters per 100 kilometers. Notice that the other velocities make the car to use more liters per kilometers.
Therefore, the amount of fuel used was lowest at speeds around 60 km/h.
Answer:
240 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Figure is attached.
The distance the particle travels is the area under the v-t graph over the time interval from 0 min to 4 min. The reason you can't just multiply velocity by time is that the velocity is changing at a constant rate over the given time interval (the line is going upward--the particls is speeding up).
What's the area under the graph?
The red outline forms a trapezoid. The area of a trapezoid is where the <em>b</em>'s are the lengths of the two parallel base and <em>h</em> is the height (the distance between the bases).
Reading the graph carefully (notice the scales!)...
