Answer:
8.4 m/s
Explanation:
Initial velocity of the object is 0 as it was at rest.
We need to find the object’s average velocity during the 3 second to 5 second.
We can see from the graph that from 3 s to 5 s, the graph is a straight line. If we take the slope we can find the average velocity during the 3 second to 5 second.
Displacement between 3 s to 5 s is :
D = 24.8 m - 8 m = 16.8 m
Time = 5 s - 3 s = 2 s
Now,
Average velocity,
[tex]v=\dfrac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}\\\\y=\dfrac{16.8\ m}{2\ m}\\\\y=8.4\ m[/tex]
So, the object’s average velocity during the 3 second to 5 second is 8.4 m/s.
