Answer:
1.7 hours
Explanation:
Time taken in the journey = 3 hours
Distance of the entire journey = 197 miles
Distance travelled on train = x
Distance travelled on bus = 197-x
Average speed of train = 70 mph
Average speed of bus = 60 mph
Time = Distance / Speed
Distance travelled by train = 119 miles
Time taken on train = 119 / 70 = 1.7 hours
Manuel spent 1.7 hours on the train
Slope of a curve Y plotted against X is mathematically given as
now here we can see that if similarly graph is plotted against distance and time then slope is given as
here we can say that above is ratio of small distance and very small interval of time.
so here we can say that this ratio of distance and time for very small interval of time is known as instantaneous speed of the object which is falling freely under gravity.
So here slope of the graph will represent the speed at a given instant.
