Although part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this full question: The graph shows the results of a race between Peter and Stuart. Both boys begin the race at the same time. Which statements are true about the race? Select each correct answer.
A. Stuart runs a longer race than Peter.
B. Stuart finishes the race 1 s after Peter finishes the race.
C. Stuart runs the race at a faster rate than Peter.
D. Peter is given a 40 yd head start and wins the race.
E. Stuart is given a 40 yd head start and loses the race.
F. Peter runs the race at an approximate rate of 4.6 yd/s.
As can be seen on the Graph attached:
- Stuart completed 60 yards in 13 secs; and
- Peter completed 100 yards in 12 secs.
So, the justification for each statement:
A. Stuart runs a longer race than Peter.
This statement is false, because Peter runs a longer race than Stuart. Peter > Stuart = 100 > 60.
B. Stuart finishes the race 1 s after Peter finishes the race
This statement is true, because Stuart finished the race in 13 secs and Peter finished the race in 12 secs. Peter – Stuart = 13 – 12 = 1. Thus, Stuart finishes the race 1 s after Peter finishes the race.
C. Stuart runs the race at a faster rate than Peter.
This statement is false, because Stuart’s speed = 60 / 13 = 4.62 yard/sec, while Peter’s speed = 100 / 12 = 8.33 yard/sec. Thus, Peter runs the race at a faster rate than Stuart.
D. Peter is given a 40 yd head start and wins the race.
This statement is false, because Peter wins the race but Peter is not given a 40 yd head start.
E. Stuart is given a 40 yd head start and loses the race.
This statement is true, because Stuart loses the race and Stuart is given a 40 yd head start.
F. Peter runs the race at an approximate rate of 4.6 yd/s.
This statement is false, because Stuart runs the race at an approximate rate of 4.6 yd/s, while Peter runs the race at an approximate rate of 8.3 yd/s.
