3.To calculate the velocity for each tmenterval, first calcu ate the speed of the turner in tnat interval (speed= distance + time). If the direction is left to right, velocity is positive. If the direction is r g h t l o left, velocity isreg alive.Fill in the velocity column of the tab e above. Use units (rrVs).Wren this runner is running to the left (negative velocity), what dies his position-time graph look like?As the ninner mores to the left, tne graph descends towards the x-axis.indicating a decrease in d stance from the starting line. Notably, when headingtowards the start line, the s lope of the graph b e c o m e s negative, in c o n t r a s t tothe positive slope when m o v i n g away from the start line. This negative slopealigns with the negative velocity, signifying m o v e m e n t to tne leftTneobservation that speed, represented by the slope, corresponds to tne velocity,which e n c o m p a s s e s bctn speed and direction, further emphasizes the l o g i c a lconsistency of the negative slope 'when the runner is headed towards tne startline.4.Slope is the steepnessOfa grach. To fird the slope of a line, divide the charge in y-vai ue (rise) by thechange inx-value (rim). Likevebcty, slope can be positive, zero, or negative.Fill in the s ope of each segment of your posilior-t me graph, along with tne runner's velocity during eachtime interva . in the taelebeew.Time i ntervalSlopeVelocity (mi's)0 sec - T sec+30+30ms1 sec - 7 sec-10-10m's2 sec - 3 sac-10-10m's3 sec - 4 sac+10+10m's5.Exam ne your velodtes and the position-time grajdnyoumade.
