Concept explainers
The rank of the cows with respect to their average velocity, from slowest to fastest (increasing order).
Answer to Problem 59A
The rank of cows in the increasing order of their average velocity is M, D, B, and E.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The position versus time graph of the four cows E, B, M, and D is shown.
Formula used:
The expression for the average velocity
Here,
The slope of the position versus time graph of the cows represents the average velocity of the cows.
Calculation:
From the expression of average velocity
Steeper the slope of the position versus time graph of the cow, higher will be the average velocity
The slope of the position versus time graph increases in the order M, D, B, and E.
Conclusion:
Thus, the list of cows in the increasing order of their average velocity is M, D, B, and E.
