Question

distance (meters) 2 1 time (seconds) 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8 Data from R. B. Huey and P. E. Hertz, "Effects of Body Size and Slope on the Acceleration of a Lizard," J. Exp. Biol, Volume 110, 1984, p. 113-123 (a) If the lizard were running faster and faster, what would be the concavity of the graph? Does this match what you see? The graph looks If the lizard were running faster and faster, the graph would be UNK то TEXT (b) Estimate the average velocity of the lizard during the first 0.5 seconds of this experiment. Round your answer to one decimal place. meters per second. The average velocity of the lizard is

Answer 1

Date : 1 I a considee, the Wizard is running faste and faster then, the graph of the distance convered by lizard - would be concave upwend It doesn't match with the given graph, as the given graph's concavity would be change from . Concave upward to concave down would Therefore, if the lizard running faster of faster, the graph concavity is upward and the graph does not match with the given groun, . average velocity = change in velocity - Change in time = 2.1-0 21 0.8 0 - 6 2 Therefore, the average velocity is do6 m/s
