4. Base your answer(s) to the following question(s) on the information and data table
below.
A car is traveling due north at 24.0 meters per second when the driver
sees an obstruction on the highway. The data table shows the velocity of
the car at 1.0-second intervals as it is brought to rest on the straight, level
highway.
Time
(s)
Velocity
(m/s)
0.0 24.0
1.0 19.0
2.0 14.0
3.0 10.0
4.0 4.0
Using the information in the data table, construct a graph on the grid,
following the directions below.
Plot the data points for velocity versus time.
