5. An amateur ball player runs at an average Speed of 6.0 m/s between
home plate and first base and
9.0 m/s between first and second.
If the distance between the bases is
27.4 m and the base lines form an
angle of 90°, calculate his average
velocity. Include reference coordi-
nates in your answer.

  distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

explanation:

the instantaneous velocity = change in position/time taken

the slope of the graph should give instantaneous velocity.

  slope of a graph = change in value of y -axis / change in values of x -axis

  comparing both the equations

    change in value of y -axis = change in position

  change in values of x -axis = time taken

so position values should be on the y axis and time values should be on the x axis.

distance on the y-axis and time on the x-axis.

well clustered together.
