Question

What is the average acceleration from 4 s to 8 s? (Given a position-time graph, but without the graph, we cannot determine. However, from the options, it might be 0 m/s² if the graph is linear. Assuming the graph shows constant velocity, acceleration is zero.)
Options
A 0 m/s²
Correct Answer
B 1 m/s²
C 2 m/s²
D 3 m/s²
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Without the graph, we assume the position-time graph is a straight line from 4 s to 8 s, indicating constant velocity, so acceleration is zero.

Hint

Average acceleration is change in velocity over time. If velocity is constant, acceleration is zero.
