Question

What is the velocity of the object?
Options
A 2 m/s
B 4 m/s
Correct Answer
C 6 m/s
D 8 m/s
Correct Answer

Option B is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Without the diagram, we assume it's from a position-time graph with a straight line. Velocity = slope = Δx/Δt. If the line goes from (0,0) to (5,20), slope = 20/5 = 4 m/s.

Hint

On a position-time graph, velocity is the slope.
