Question

What is the average speed from 4 s to 8 s? (from position-time graph)
Options
A 0.5 m/s
B 1 m/s
Correct Answer
C 2 m/s
D 3 m/s
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

From the graph, at t=4 s, position ≈ 2 m; at t=8 s, position ≈ 6 m. Distance = 4 m, time = 4 s, average speed = 1 m/s.

Hint

Average speed = total distance / total time.
