The motion diagram shown above gives the position of an object at different time

Question

The motion diagram shown above gives the position of an object at different times. The position is given by the vertical marks on the x-axis, which are each 1 m apart. The positions are given every 0.5 seconds, starting with point 1 and ending with point 10 (even numbers are between the odd).

What is the average velocity of the object from the initial point to the final point shown on the diagram?

show me how you did it

Explanation / Answer

you have no diagram... however, you can do this yourself with little/no effort. velocity is, put simply, displacement/time displacement is the change in position (a vector) if x1 is the starting position, x2 is the ending position, and t is the total time taken, (x2-x1)/t is the AVERAGE velocity for two dimensions it would be < (x2-x1)/t , (y2-y1)/t > keep in mind that the time t is the difference between the final and initial times
