Time (minutes)
Juan is on a morning jog. His speed is represented in the graph.
a. At what rate of speed is Juan running between 4 min and 6 min?
b. According to this graph, what can you tell about Juan’s motion between 8 min and 16 min?
c. If Juan had maintained the same speed as in the first 8 min, how long would it have taken him
to run 4000 m? Explain your answer.
a.) speed = change in position/time
speed = (1200m-800m)/2 min = 200m/min
b.) Juan isn’t moving between 8min and 16min. The graph is a horizontal line: his
position is not changing. The slope is 0 so he is not moving.
c.) In the first 8 minutes his speed is 200m/min.
