AP EAMCET · PHYSICS · Motion In One Dimension

A particle moves along a straight line along the \(x\)-axis. Its position ( \(\mathrm{x}\) ) versus time \((\mathrm{t})\) graph is shown in the figure [ \(x\) in meters and \(t\) in seconds]. It's average speed during this motion is

  1. A \(0.4 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  2. B \(1.0 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  3. C \(0.8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
  4. D \(0.6 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(0.8 \mathrm{~ms}^{-1}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { Average speed }=\frac{\text { Distance travelled }}{\text { time }} \\ & =\frac{4 \mathrm{~m}}{5 \mathrm{~s}}=0.8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\end{aligned}\)
