Consider the position vs. time graph below for cyclists A and B.

Do the cyclists start at the same point?

• Yes

• No

At t= 7s, which cyclist is ahead?

• A

• B

Are their velocities equal at any time?

• Yes

• No

What is speed?

• how far you go

• how much distance is covered over a period of time

• how fast you accelerate

• the change in the location of a object

Total distance divided by total time is

• average speed

• constant speed

• instantaneous speed

• acceleration

At 7 seconds, this object's velocity is:

• positive

• zero

• negative

• can't tell from the plot
