Question

3. The graph shows the Millennium Falcon traveling from Jakku to Takodan.

What is the average speed of the Millennium Falcon on this journey?

Answer 1

Ignoring the fact that the axis are labeled incorrectly.

Evaluate each point using the velocity formula where d = distance, t = time, V = velocity

V = d/t

Now find the velocity at each point given.

So for the first point (omitting 0,0) we have:

V = 25,000/.25 = 100,000k/s

We have to switch the numbers up due to the fact that the axis are switch and for this to make sense we have to act like the time in seconds is the distance.

Now do this for every point and record them

1. 100,000
2. 66,667
3. 60,000
4. 66,667
5. 83,333
6. 100,000
7. 116,667

Now add all these numbers up and divide by the number of points

This gives you 84,762 k/s
