38 pM 16. 15 points 1 Previous Answers SAigTrig4 2.4.03 Two speed skaters, A and B, are racing in a 500-m event. The graph shows the distance they have traveled as a function of the time from the start of the race. Ask You d (m 500 100 010 r (s) (e) who won the race?

Solution

a) skater b has won the race as he has travelled 500 miles in less time

b) avearge speed of skater A for first 10 s is

total distance travelled during 1st 10 seconds / total time

= 200/10 = 20 m/s

avearge speed of skater B is

100/10 = 10 m/s

c) avearge speed of skater A for last 15 seconds

= 100/15 = 7 m/ s

avearage speed of skater B for last 15 seconds

= ( 500 - 200 ) / 15 = 300 / 15 = 20 m/s
