Question

2 record the time and distance the truck travels.
step 1 interpret a row in the table.
the truck travels __ meter in __ seconds.
step 2 find the distance the object travels.
step 3 find the time the object takes to travel.
step 4 complete the table.

Explanation:

Step1: Find the speed

The speed \(v=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}\). Given time \(t = 3s\) and distance \(d=1m\), so \(v=\frac{1}{3}m/s\).

Step2: Calculate the distance for \(t = 6s\)

Use the formula \(d=v\times t\). Substitute \(v=\frac{1}{3}m/s\) and \(t = 6s\) into the formula, we get \(d=\frac{1}{3}\times6 = 2m\).

Step3: Calculate the time for \(d = 4m\)

Use the formula \(t=\frac{d}{v}\). Substitute \(d = 4m\) and \(v=\frac{1}{3}m/s\) into the formula, we get \(t=\frac{4}{\frac{1}{3}}=12s\).

Answer:

Time (s)	Distance (m)
6	2
12	4
