The distance graph shows the height of a plane as it completes a journey. When the plane is at a height of 38,000 feet (ft), it travels at a constant speed of 550 miles per hour. The question asks how ...

The speed is \( \frac {20}{10} = 2~m/s\). Key fact The gradient of a distance-time graph represents speed. When displaying a journey, the vertical axis will often represent the distance from a ...
