Question

PLEASE SHOW STEPS IF POSSIBLE

3. Gizmo, now a not-so-good Nascar driver, keeps track of his speedometer every minute. The table below shows what he found, where time t 0 corresponds to when he started the stopwatch. Use this to approximate his total distance traveled during these ten minutes. Then describe how d-G4 made this approximation. Given this data, can you improve the accuracy of you your estimate? Minute 1 3 4 5 7 8 10 Speed(mph) 55 57 60 58 60 62 61 57 64 59

Answer 1

We know that total distance = Avg speed*time

Avg speed = (55+57+60+58+60+62+57+61+64+59)/10 = 59.3mph

Total time = 10minutes = 10/60 hour

Total distance = 59.3*10/60 = 9.88 miles
