Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

A skateboarder travels a distance of 200 meters in 15 seconds, then stops for 5 seconds, then resumes moving and travels another 100 meters in 10 seconds. Draw the distance-time graph and calculate average speed.

💡 Hint: Combine all distances and times for averages.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider a graph that shows an object accelerating from 0 to 20 m/s over 10 seconds, then continues at this speed for another 10 seconds. What is the total distance covered?

💡 Hint: Remember to use area calculations for graph interpretation.
