It will take 15 s to travel 6 cm
Further explanation
Given
distance versus time graph
Required
time travel
Solution
Caterpillar motion is a straight motion with a constant speed, so that the graph between distance and time forms a diagonal line
If we look at the graph, we can determine the time taken when the distance reaches 6 cm (y axis) by drawing a line to the diagonal line and cutting the x-axis as time, and we get 15 s
Or we can also use the formula for motion at constant speed:
d = v x t
With v at point 2,5 of 2/5 m / s, so the time taken:
[tex]\tt t=\dfrac{d}{v}=\dfrac{6}{2/5}=15~s[/tex]
