Motion Sensor
This problem rests on the student visualising the motion from a graphical expression of the distance-time data.
Asking for a result in units other than those given on a graph scale involves a little problem solving but mostly relies on an ability to see the same quality (speed) expressed in more than one way (m/s or mph)
