Chapter 1, Problem 52GP
A woman starts from her house and begins jogging down her street. In order to keep a record of her workout, she carries a stopwatch and records the time it takes her to reach specific landmarks such as intersections, school grounds, and churches. Since she knows the distance to each of these landmarks, she is able to tabulate the data shown here:
| Time | Distance jogged |
| 10 min | 2.1 km |
| 17 min | 3.2km |
| 32 min | 6.5 km |
| 44 min | 8.6km |
Make a plot of the distance jogged versus time. Draw a test-fit me through the data, and use this line to estimate (a)the speed at which she was jogging in m/s and (b) the distance she will jog in 1 hour.

The Shinkansen (bullet train in Japan) makes a trip from Tokyo Station to Kyoto station in 2.0 hours and 14 min. The distance traveled is 460 km (to two significant figures). Determine the average velocity of the train in meters per second (m/s). [conversions: 1 km = 1000 m, 1 hr = 3600 s, 1 min = 60 s] *Round your answer to two significant figures in the standard form* *
A runner wants to run 12.2 kmkm . She knows that her running pace is 6.8 mi/hmi/h .
How many minutes must she run? Hint: Use 6.8 mi/hmi/h as a conversion factor between distance and time.
Express your answer using two significant figures.
In an 8.00 kmkm race, one runner runs at a steady 11.2 km/hkm/h and another runs at 14.9 km/hkm/h.
How far from the finish line is the slower runner when the faster runner finishes the race?
Express your answer in kilometers to three significant figures.
