Question

Examine the graph below which shows the journey that a student makes from their homeroom to the cafeteria. Then, explain what is happening on the journey. Be sure to note what is happening in each section of the graph (a-b, b-c, etc). Tell a story about what the person is doing in each of the sections and why they might be speeding up or slowing down etc. Be sure to reference specific times and distances.

Answer 1

AB - The student walks out the classroom to start going to lunch for about 40 seconds, traveling nearly 12 meters.
BC - The student stops on the way there, since they got distracted by a friend, so they talk for a minute in the same place.
CD - The student quickly hurries to go to lunch for the next 30 seconds after they finish seeing their friend in passing. They travel an extra 50 meters.
DE - The student slows down a little when they see the cafeteria. They travel a 40 meters but in 1 minute.
EF - The students starts coming to a stop traveling about 10 meters in 30 seconds when they're getting food from the cafeteria.
FG - The student sits to eat their lunch for the rest of the same.

I’m not sure if the time/distance is right. I just estimated.
