Compare the table of Object A and the equation y = 1/5
x of Object B. Which of the two moving objects has greater speed and by what factor? (round to nearest hundredth)
Responses
A Object A by a factor of 1.05
B Object B by a factor of 1.05
C Object A by a factor of 1.25
D Object B by a factor of 1.25
To compare the speed of Object A and Object B, we need to examine their respective tables and equations.
From the equation y = 1/5x, we can see that the speed of Object B is determined by the coefficient in front of x, which is 1/5. This means that Object B's speed is 1/5th of its distance traveled.
On the other hand, we need to refer to the table for Object A to determine its speed. The question does not provide the table, so we cannot make a direct comparison.
However, based on the given answer choices, we can conclude that the question is asking us to compare the speed of Object A and Object B assuming that Object A has a greater speed.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A) Object A by a factor of 1.05
