10 Questions

According to scientists, what is the maximum speed at which a human can run in meters per second?

16.7 meters per second

How long would it take a human running at the maximum speed to complete a 100-meter race?

just under 6 seconds

What did scientists discover about our ancient ancestors' running speed?

Scientists discovered that our ancient ancestors could run up to 12.5 meters per second

What topic will be covered in another video?

Drawing velocity time graphs

What does the area underneath the velocity time graph indicate?

The area underneath the velocity time graph provides information

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is a scalar measurement with only magnitude, while velocity is a vector measurement with both magnitude and direction.

How can information about velocity be plotted on a graph?

Time goes on the horizontal x-axis, and velocity goes on the vertical y-axis.

What does a diagonal line on a velocity-time graph represent?

A diagonal line represents changing velocity with time, either accelerating or decelerating.

What does a horizontal line on a velocity-time graph represent?

A horizontal line represents constant velocity, where the velocity is not changing over time.

What does a downwards diagonal line on a velocity-time graph represent?

A downwards diagonal line represents deceleration or slowing down in velocity with time.
