Question
An object covers a distance of S meters in t seconds as follows :
| S (meters) | 0 | 8 | 20 | 20 | 16 | 10 | 0 |
| t (Seconds) | 80 | 2 | 5 | 10 | 12 | 15 | 10 |
Plot a graph, taking t on X-axis and S on Y-axis. Determine the velocity of the object at time
(i) 6 s, and
(ii) 14 s.
Solution
The given question is wrong as distance can never DECREASE with the progress of time.
