Question

You walk forward at 1.5 m/s for 8 s. Your friend decides to walk faster and starts out at 2.0 m/s for the first 4 s. Then she slows down and walks forward at 1.0 m/s for the next 4 s. Make a distance-time graph of your motion and your friend's motion. Who walked farther?

Answer 1

The guy above is wrong. s=d/t true but your speed 1.5m/s =m/8s, D= 12m and her speed 2.0m/s=m/4s m=8m, 1.0m/s=m/4s= 4m. . . 8m+4m=12m you both walked the same distance, the only difference was she sped up .5m/s more in the first 4 seconds and then down 1.0m/s the last 4sseconds.

Answer 2

The first person went further. s = d/t

Hope this helps you out APHDenmark! :D
