What is her average velocity during this time? Answer in units of m/s. 010 (part 1 of 2) 5.0 points The position versus time for a certain object moving along the x-axis is shown. The object's initial position is -7 m. Find the instantaneous velocity at 6 s. Answer in units of m/s. 011 (part 2 of 2) 5.0 points Find the average velocity over the whole time shown. Answer in units of m/s.

Consider following position vs. time graph for an object moving along the x-axis: Find the average speed and the average velocity of the object between 0 and 10 seconds.
1. The figure shows a graph of the position of a moving object as a function of time. What is the velocity of the object at each of the following times? a) At t = 1.0 s b) At t = 2.5 s c) At t = 4.0 s d) At t = 5.5 s e) What is the average velocity of the object from t = 0 s to t = 4.0 s? f) What is the average velocity of the object from t = 0 s to t = 6.0 s?
