following graph represent the position vs time for a cat walking up and down a street looking for food left for him on the front porches of people’s houses. If he doesn’t see any food he just keeps walking. Use this graph to answer the following questions. During what time interval(s) does the cat walk in the “positive” direction? _________________
The following graph represent the position vs time for a cat walking up and down a street looking for food left for him on the front porches of people’s houses. If he doesn’t see any food he just keeps walking. Use this graph to answer the following questions.
- During what time interval(s) does the cat walk in the “positive” direction? _________________
- During what time interval(s) does the cat walk in the “negative” direction? _________________
- Is the cat ever standing still? If so when? ____________________________________________
- Fill in the following table
Time average speed average velocity
0-20 min. ___________________ ___________________
20-30 min. ___________________ ___________________
30-40 min. ___________________ ___________________
30-50 min. ___________________ ___________________
Do any of the average speeds and velocities NOT have the same numerical value? If so why do you think this is so?
