We can use a travel graph to show a journey undertaken by a cyclist. Suppose a cyclist starts a
50-km journey at 08 00 hours. At 09 00 hours, his bike gets a puncture and he spends half an hour
repairing it. He then continues his journey and reaches his destination at 10 30 hours. A graph of this
journey can be plotted and is shown below.
jee ate a a
From the first section of the graph, we can see that the cyclist covers a distance of 20 km in the first
hour (08 00 h to 09 00 h). The horizontal section of the graph (09 00 h to 09 30 h) indicates that he
stops for half an hour to repair his bike. The third section of the graph is steeper than the first section.
‘This indicates that he cycles at a faster speed from 09 30 h to 10 30 h. He takes 2+ hours to travel
50 km. Thus his average speed for the whole journey is 50 2 = 20 km/h.
