Question
Figure shows the displacement of a body at different times .
Calculate the velocity of the body as it moves for time interval :
(i) 0 to 5 s,
(ii) 5 s to 7 s
(iii) 7 s to 9 s.

Solution
(a) (i) Velocity from 0 to 5 s = Displacement /time
= (3/5) m/s
= 0.6 m/s-1
(ii) Velocity from 5 s to 7 s = Displacement /time
= (0/2) m/s
= 0 m/s-1.
(iii) Velocity from 7 s to 9 s = Displacement /time
= (7 - 3)/(9 - 7) m/s
= (4/2) m/s
= 2 m/s-1
