The continent of Antartica is located at the bottom of the world. the South Pole is at its center. Antarctica is the coldest and windiest place on earth. It is covered with ice up to 3 miles thick. Very few plants and animals can survive here, but penguins, fish, and seals live on the coast and in the seas. No people live on Antarctica permanently, but scientists and tourists visit.
Average speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)
Tissa covered 60 meters in 10 seconds. Her average speed was
(60 m) / (10 sec) = 6 m/s.
That's the slope of the dotted line.
Lilly covered 60 meters in 8 seconds. Her average speed was
(60 m) / (8 sec) = 7.5 m/s .
That's the slope of the solid line.
Lilly covered the same distance in less time, and both girls
arrived at the finish line together. Technically, in science talk,
we would say that Lilly ran "faster", and her average speed
was "greater".
We can detect that by looking at the graph, because Lilly's line
has the characteristic of being "steeper", and we know that the
slope of the line on a distance/time graph is "speed".
