Consulting the graph shown in (Figure 1) , determine the object's average velocity over the time interval from 2 to 4 seconds.

Express your answer in meters per second to the nearest integer.

Position versus time graph for an object traveling with a non-constant velocity. The time is in seconds on the horizontal axis and position in meters is given on the vertical axis. The following are approximate coordinate points on the curve: (1, 5), (2, 10), (3, 15), (4, 20), (5, 30), (6, 40)

5m/s

Well, well, well, we've got ourselves a non-constant velocity situation here. Let's put on our mathematical clown shoes and get to work.

To determine the average velocity, we need to calculate the change in position over the change in time. So, let's take a look at the graph, shall we?

At 2 seconds, the position is 10 meters, and at 4 seconds, the position is 20 meters. So, the change in position is 20 - 10 = 10 meters.

The change in time is 4 - 2 = 2 seconds.

Now, we divide the change in position by the change in time: 10 meters / 2 seconds = 5 meters per second.

And there you have it, my friend. The object's average velocity over the time interval from 2 to 4 seconds is approximately 5 meters per second. Keep that clown-car moving!

To determine the object's average velocity over the time interval from 2 to 4 seconds, we need to find the change in position and divide it by the change in time.

From the given graph, we can see that at 2 seconds, the object's position is 10 meters, and at 4 seconds, the object's position is 20 meters.

Change in position = final position - initial position
= 20 m - 10 m
= 10 m

Change in time = final time - initial time
= 4 s - 2 s
= 2 s

Average velocity = change in position / change in time
= 10 m / 2 s
= 5 m/s

Therefore, the object's average velocity over the time interval from 2 to 4 seconds is 5 meters per second (to the nearest integer).

To determine the object's average velocity over the time interval from 2 to 4 seconds, we need to find the change in position (Δx) and the change in time (Δt) during that interval.

From the given position versus time graph, we can see that at 2 seconds (t = 2), the position of the object is approximately 10 meters (x = 10), and at 4 seconds (t = 4), the position is approximately 20 meters (x = 20).

Now, we can calculate the change in position (Δx) as the final position minus the initial position:

Δx = x(final) - x(initial)
Δx = 20 m - 10 m
Δx = 10 m

Similarly, the change in time (Δt) is the final time minus the initial time:

Δt = t(final) - t(initial)
Δt = 4 s - 2 s
Δt = 2 s

Finally, we can calculate the average velocity using the formula:

Average Velocity = Δx / Δt

Average Velocity = 10 m / 2 s
Average Velocity = 5 m/s

Therefore, the object's average velocity over the time interval from 2 to 4 seconds is approximately 5 meters per second.
