Question

3 interpret the motion in the graph. time (s) distance (m) 1 2 8 3

Explanation:

Step1: Find the speed

The formula for speed \(v=\frac{d}{t}\). From the point \((2,8)\), when \(t = 2s\) and \(d=8m\), the speed \(v=\frac{8}{2}=4m/s\).

Step2: Calculate distance at \(t = 1s\)

Using \(d=v\times t\), with \(v = 4m/s\) and \(t = 1s\), we get \(d=4\times1 = 4m\).

Step3: Calculate distance at \(t = 3s\)

Using \(d=v\times t\), with \(v = 4m/s\) and \(t = 3s\), we get \(d=4\times3=12m\).

Answer:

Time (s)	Distance (m)
2	8
3	12
