Motion Graph Review

The distance-time graph represents the position of an object moving in a straight line. What is the speed of the object during the time interval t = 2.0 seconds to t = 4.0 seconds?

• 7.5 m/s

• 10 m/s

• 5.0 m/s

• 0.0 m/s

Answer explanation

Find the slope of the line between those two points (30-10m)/(4-2s) = 20m/2s = 10 m/s
