Question

What is the velocity of the object? (Given a position-time graph with points (0,4) and (8,20))
Options
A 2 m/s
Correct Answer
B 4 m/s
C 6 m/s
D 8 m/s
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Velocity is the slope of the position-time graph. Using points (0,4) and (8,20), slope = (20-4)/(8-0) = 16/8 = 2 m/s.

Hint

Velocity = Δx/Δt.
