Important Questions on Motion and Time
Figure 1 shows the distance-time graph for two racing cars, A and B. Which one of them won the race?
What can you say about the speeds of the two objects A and B from the distance-time graphs in Figure 2?
The three graphs A, B and C are speed vs time graphs of three cars. (None that these are not distance-time graphs)
Identify the graphs from the clues.
1. Mr Nair is a gentle driver. He lets the car pick up speed slowly.
2. Ms Patnaik sometimes goes on a drive on an empty road. She enjoys cruising along at the same speed.
3. Ms Rushmore is a racing car driver. She has just started a race.
