Homework Equations
Since we have constant velocities for certain time intervals we need to use ##Δd = v Δt##
The Attempt at a Solution
So I made a table of intervals and displacements and got these values ( Note that i converted the minutes to hours already ) :
t = 0h to t = 0.17h implies ##Δd = 12 km
t = 0.17h to t = 0.67h implies ##Δd = 40 km
t = 0.67 to t = 0.75 implies ##Δd = 6 km
t = 0.75 to t = 0.8 implies ##Δd = 3 km
t = 0.8 to t = 1.17 implies ##Δd = 20.4 km
Putting these together I got this graph using Wolframs' Listplot[] function : http://gyazo.com/6563dc287b98356467a1669ec4023a81
Have I done this correctly? Is that actually what the position time graph will look like?
