Questions for Activity 1
Question 1:
What is the average speed of the train during the time interval from 0 s to 10 s?
The average speed from 0 s to 10 s is 4 m/s.
Question 2:
s 2−s 1
Using the equation: v= , calculate the average speed of the train as it moves
t 2−t 1
from position x = 50m to x = 60m.
The average speed of the train as it moves from these two positions would be
0.666667 m/s, or 0.7 m/s.
