Question

practice: motion graphs
part 1: match the letters on the graph to the statements in #1-3 that best describe clara’s motion. then answer questions +4 and 5.

  1. clara stops for 10 minutes to catch up with a friend.
  2. clara jogs 600 m in 5 minutes.
  3. she walks at a constant speed of 80 m/min.
  4. is clara jogging faster during part a of her run or part c? explain how you know.

graph of claras motion
(time (min) on x - axis, distance (m) on y - axis, with points and segments labeled a, b, c)

Explanation:

Part 1: Matching (1 - 3)
1. Clara stops for 10 minutes...
  • Explanation: The horizontal segment (Part B) on the graph represents no change in distance over time, meaning she stopped. The time from 10 to 20 minutes (length 10 minutes) matches this. So this statement matches the segment B.
2. Clara jogs 600 m in 5 minutes.
  • Explanation: Part A goes from (0,0) to (10,600)? Wait, no, looking at the graph, from time 0 to 10 minutes, distance goes to 600? Wait, the first segment (A) from 0 to 10 minutes? Wait, no, the x - axis (time) at 5 minutes, there's a point A. Wait, the graph: at time 0, distance 0; at time 10, distance 600? Wait, no, the vertical axis is distance (m), horizontal is time (min). The first segment (A) is from (0,0) to (10,600)? Wait, the problem says "jogs 600 m in 5 minutes". Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the graph: let's check the coordinates. The first segment (A) has a point at time 5? Wait, the user's graph: Time (min) on x - axis, Distance (m) on y - axis. The first segment (A) goes from (0,0) to (10,600)? No, the point A is at time 5? Wait, the graph shows: at time 0, (0,0); then a point A (maybe at time 5, distance 400? No, the labels: A, B, C. Wait, the problem statement 2: "jogs 600 m in 5 minutes". So speed would be 600/5 = 120 m/min. Wait, maybe the first segment (A) is from 0 to 10 minutes, distance 600 m? No, the problem says "5 minutes". Wait, maybe the graph's first segment (A) is from 0 to 10 minutes, but the statement is 5 minutes. Wait, perhaps the correct match for "jogs 600 m in 5 minutes" is the segment with slope 600/5 = 120. But maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the third statement: "She walks at a constant speed of 80 m/min". Speed = distance/time. For a segment, speed is the slope (distance change over time change). Let's re - analyze:
  • Statement 2: "Clara jogs 600 m in 5 minutes". So time = 5 min, distance = 600 m. The first segment (A) from time 0 to 10 minutes: if distance at 10 min is 600 m, then speed is 600/10 = 60 m/min. No. Wait, maybe the segment C? No. Wait, maybe the first segment (A) is from 0 to 5 minutes, distance 600 m? The graph's x - axis: 0,5,10,15,20,25. Y - axis: 0,200,400,600,800,1000,1200,1400. So at time 5, distance 400? No. Wait, maybe the problem has a typo, but according to the matching:
  • Statement 1: stops for 10 minutes → segment B (horizontal, time from 10 to 20 minutes, 10 minutes, distance constant).
  • Statement 2: "jogs 600 m in 5 minutes" → segment A? Wait, no, 600 m in 5 minutes: time from 0 to 5 minutes, distance 600 m? But the graph at time 5, distance is 400? No, maybe the graph's first segment (A) is from 0 to 10 minutes, distance 600 m, so time 10 minutes. But the statement says 5 minutes. This is confusing. Wait, maybe the correct matches are:
  1. Clara stops for 10 minutes → B (since B is horizontal, time from 10 to 20 minutes, 10 minutes)
  1. Clara jogs 600 m in 5 minutes → A (if A is from 0 to 5 minutes, but the graph may have A from 0 to 10 minutes. Wait, maybe the problem's graph: A is from 0 to 10 minutes (distance 600 m), so 600 m in 10 minutes? No. Wait, the third statement: "She walks at a constant speed of 80 m/min". Speed = 80 m/min. So distance = 80*time. For segment C: let's say from time 20 to 25 minutes, distance changes from 600 to, say, 1000? No, 80 m/min for, say, 5 minutes would be 400 m. Wait, maybe segment C has speed 80 m/min.
  • So correct matches:
  1. Clara stops for 10 minutes to catch up with a friend → B (horizontal line, no distance change, time from 10 to 20 minutes, 10 minutes)
  1. Clara jogs 600 m…

Answer:

for Question 4
Clara is jogging faster during part A. Because the speed during part A (e.g., if she jogs 600 m in 5 minutes, speed = 120 m/min) is greater than the speed during part C (80 m/min, from walking at 80 m/min or calculating from the graph's slope for part C which is less than part A's slope).
