Question
Figure shows the displacement of a body at different times .
Calculate the average velocity during the time interval 5 s to 9 s ,
[Hint : From 5 s to 9 s , displacement = 7 m - 3m = 4m]

Solution
From, 5 s to 9 s , displacement = 7m - 3m = 4m.
Time elapsed between 5 s to 9 s = 4 s
Average velocity = Displacement/time
= (4/4) m/s
= 1 m/s-1
