Let us suppose that the graph above represents a trip taken by a physics student in a
wheel chair. Answer the questions below using the graph above.
16. What is the velocity between 0.0 s and 2.0 s?

17. What is the velocity between 2.0 s and 5.0 s?

18. What is the velocity between 6.0 s and 7.0 s? 26. Rank the graphs according to which show the greatest velocity. (Zero is greater
than negative and ties are possible)

Greatest 1_______ 2_______ 3_______ 4_______ 5______ 6_______ Least

19. How far away from the starting point is the person after 1.5 s?
Explain your reasoning:
20. How far away from the starting point is the person after 2.5 s? What about at
5.0 s? What is his speed at this time?

21. How far away from his starting point is he after 7.0 s? Is he moving towards or 27. Rank the graphs according to which show the greatest average speed.
