Question

Teresa went skydiving. Teresa's height (in meters) as a function of time (in seconds) is graphed.

Answer 1

Answer:

choose B.  54 meters/second,  it is closest to  my calculation of 55 meters/sec

Step-by-step explanation:

To find average speed between 3 and 8 seconds, find the total distance traveled during that time.

650 meters at 3 seconds

to 375 meters at 8 seconds

then average speed =  ( 650 - 375 ) / (8  - 3) = 275 /5  = 55 meters /sec
