Distant Time Graphs What is this Distance graph showing? Constant Speed slowing down Deceleration No Motion The dashed line is trial 1 and the solid line is trial 2 of a runner running the 400 meter dash. What is this Distance graph showing? The same constant Speed A decrease in average speed No Motion An increase in average speed What is happening at point A? Deceleration Constant Speed Acceleration No Motion A distance graph can be useful when calculating - an object's speed an object's mass an object's location at any given time an object's volume Which runner won the race (ran the farthest the fastest)? A B C Which runner stopped for a rest? Albert Bob Charlie
