A distance-time graph for a car is a curve.
At a time of 6.0 s, the car has travelled a total distance of 20 m.
A tangent is drawn to the curve at 6.0 s. The tangent passes through the points (2.0 s, 0 m)(2.0\ \text{s},\ 0\ \text{m})(2.0 s, 0 m) and (10.0 s, 40 m)(10.0\ \text{s},\ 40\ \text{m})(10.0 s, 40 m).
What is the speed of the car at 6.0 s?
3.3 m/s3.3\ \text{m/s}3.3 m/s
4.0 m/s4.0\ \text{m/s}4.0 m/s
5.0 m/s5.0\ \text{m/s}5.0 m/s
6.7 m/s6.7\ \text{m/s}6.7 m/s
