Answer 1

At 10 seconds, where was sprinter 1? Where was sprinter 2?

Answer 2

S1 would be at (10,130) and S2 would be at (10,110), rite?
That is what ur asking, rite?

Answer 3

Well you mixed them up, but yes that was what I was asking.

Answer 4

Oops!
S2: (10,130) and S1:(10.110)
Sorry :p

Answer 5

haha it's fine. But now that we have the info, we have to make conclusions. If two people ran for the same amount of time, but one of them went further, was the further one faster or slower?

Answer 6

Faster

Answer 7

So since sprinter 2 ran more distance in the same time, isn't he faster than sprinter 1?

Answer 8

Yes

Answer 9

So, would that mean it's D?

Answer 10

Answer 11
