Question

A graph of position versus time for a certain particle movingalong the x axis. Find the average velocity in the followingtime intervals. (The horizontal axis is marked in incrementsof 2 s and the vertical axis is marked in increments of 50m). (a) 0 to 4.00 s (b) 0 to 8.00 s (c) 4.00 to 8.00 s (d) 8.00 to 14.00 s (e) 0 to 16.00 s A graph of position versus time for a certain particle movingalong the x axis.

Explanation / Answer

a) 100m-0m/(4-0s)=25m/s b)200m-0m/(8-0s)=25m/s c)200m-100m/(8-4)=25m/s d)350m-200m/(14-8)=25m/s e)400m-0m/(16-0s)=25m/s seems a little weird they're all the same it'd be easier to see thegraph but if its a straight line then this is right
