Question

A ball travels at a constant speed of 6 meters per second along a frictionless surface. Which table correctly shows what a student may have measured and recorded if they watched this ball in motion over a 10-second time period?A.Time (seconds) Distance (meters)2 124 246 368 4810 60B.Time (seconds) Distance (meters)2 64 126 248 3610 42C.Time (seconds) Distance (meters)2 244 346 448 5410 64D.Time (seconds) Distance (meters)2 124 206 228 3010 32

Answer 1

The correct table is A.

Time (seconds) Distance (meters)
2 12
4 24
6 36
8 48
10 60

Since the ball is traveling at a constant speed of 6 meters per second, the distance traveled in each 2-second increment should increase by 12 meters (6 meters/second * 2 seconds = 12 meters).
