Question

This position time graph describes an object’s motion. Use it to determine the distance the object moves (in m) during the 20.0 seconds of motion.

Answer 1

total distance = 36 m

Step-by-step explanation:

total distance the object moved in 20 s:

1st leg: Δy = 20-3 = 17

2nd leg: Δy = 15-3 = 12

3rd leg: Δy = 15 - 8 =7

Total distance = 17 + 12 + 7 = 36 m
