Question
The diagram shows the displacement-time graph for a particle moving in a straight line. The average velocity for the interval $t=0, t=5$ is(a) $\mathrm{o}$(b) $6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$(c) $-2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$(d) $2 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}$
Step 1
Step 1: The average velocity is calculated by the formula: \[v_{avg} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}\] where \(\Delta x\) is the total displacement and \(\Delta t\) is the total time. Show more…

The figure shows the velocity ( $v$ ) of a particle moving on a straight line plotted against time $(t)$. (a) The particle has zero displacement (b) The particle has never turned around (c) The particle has constant acceleration (d) The average speed in the interval 0 to $5 \mathrm{~s}$ is the same as the average speed in the interval 5 to $10 \mathrm{~s}$

Round 2
A particle moves at varying velocity along a line and $s=f(t)$ represents the particle's distance from a point as a function of time, $t .$ Sketch a possible graph for $f$ if the average velocity of the particle between $t=2$ and $t=6$ is the same as the instantancous velocity at $t=5$
