Answer:
a) 6 mins
b) 70km/h
c) t= 45
Explanation:
a) The bus stops from t=10 to t=16 minutes since the distance the busvtravelled remained constant at 15km
Duration
= 16 -10
= 6 minutes
b) Average speed
= total distance ÷ total time
Total time
= 24min
= (24÷60) hr
= 0.4 h
Average speed
= 28 ÷0.4
= 70 km/h
c) Average speed= total distance/ total time
Average speed
= 80km/h
= (80÷60) km/min
= 1⅓ km/min
1⅓= 28 ÷(t -24)
since duration for return journey is from t=24 mins to t mins.
(t -24)= 28
t - 32= 28
t= 32 +28
t= 60
t=
t= 45
*Here, I assume that this is a displacement- time graph, so the distance shown is the distance of the bus from the starting point because technically if it is a distance-time graph, the distance would still increase as the bus travels the 'return journey'.
Thus, distance is decreasing after t=24 and reaches zero at time= t mins so that is the return journey. (because when the bus returns back to starting point, displacement/ distance from starting point= 0km)
