Question

Fill in the blank

For a school project, Robert records the motion of a snail and plots a position-time graph of the data.

From the graph, the speed of the snail in the first 20 seconds is ________
centimeter/second. After that, the snail remains in the same place for ________
seconds.

Answer 1

1 cm/sec and 50sec

Step-by-step explanation:

i got this question on a test and those were the right answers

Answer 2

From the graph, the speed of the snail in the first 20 seconds is

1 centimeter/second.

After that, the snail remains in the same place for 50 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know

Speed= distance covered / unit time

So putting the values in the above equation we get

Speed= 20 cm/20 sec

Speed= 1 cm/s ec

After that the snail remained still for 50 cm because the line is straight from 20 seconds to 70 seconds as the distance is not changing as shown in the graph so 70 sec -50 sec= 20 sec
