Question

Following table gives the displacement of a car at different instants of time. Draw the displacement-time sketch and find the average velocity of car.
Time(S) 0 1 2 3 4
Displacement (m) 0 5 10 15 20

Solution

Displacement-time graph

Finding average velocity:
We know that the slope of the displacement time graph represents velocity. Here displacement-time graph is a straight line with constant slope. Hence, velocity is constant here.
Average velocity
= total displacement total time
= final position-initial position total time
=20040=5 m s1
Hence, average velocity of the car is 5 ms1.
