Get started for freeIf Katie walked at miles per hour for minutes and then sprinted at miles an hour for minutes, how fast would Dave have to walk or run to go the same distance as Katie did at the same time while moving at a constant speed? Sketch a graph of Katie’s position over time and a graph of Dave’s position over time on the same set of axes.
Stuart left his house at noon and walked north on Pine Street for minutes. At that point he realized he was late for an appointment at the dentist, whose office was located south of Stuart’s house on Pine Street; fearing he would be late, Stuart sprinted south on Pine Street, past his house, and on to the dentist’s office. When he got there, he found the office closed for lunch; he was minutes early for his appointment. Stuart waited at the office for minutes and then found out that his appointment was actually for the next day, so he walked back to his house. Sketch a graph that describes Stuart’s position over time. Then sketch a graph that describes Stuart’s velocity over time.
