A lizard accelerates from 2m/s to 10m/s in 4 seconds. What is the lizard's average velocity?

average = (initial + final) / 2

acceleration time is not a factor

A lizard accelerates from 2 m/s to 10 m/s in 4 seconds. What is the lizard’s average acceleration?

To find the average velocity of the lizard, you need to divide the total displacement by the total time taken.

The displacement of the lizard can be found by subtracting the initial velocity from the final velocity:
Displacement = Final velocity - Initial velocity
Displacement = 10 m/s - 2 m/s
Displacement = 8 m/s

The total time taken is given as 4 seconds.

Now, divide the displacement by the time taken to find the average velocity:
Average velocity = Displacement / Time taken
Average velocity = 8 m/s / 4 s
Average velocity = 2 m/s

Therefore, the lizard's average velocity is 2 m/s.
