A distance-time graph indicates that an object 100 m in 4s and then remains at rest for 6s what is the average speed of the object

Respuesta :

The average speed is 10 m/s.

Explanation:

The motion of the object is divided into two parts.

In the first part, the object covers a distance of

[tex]d_1 = 100 m[/tex]

In a time interval of

[tex]t_1 = 4 s[/tex]

In the second part, the object is a t rest, so it covers a distance of

[tex]d_2 = 0[/tex]

In a time interval of

[tex]t_2 = 6 s[/tex]

The average speed for the trip is given by the ratio between the total distance and the total time taken, therefore:

[tex]s=\frac{d_1+d_2}{t_1+t_2}=\frac{100+0}{4+6}=10 m/s[/tex]
