Answer:

Explanation:
Given,
mass of the object,m = 0.30 Kg
initial speed, v_i = 3 m/s
time of collision = 0.20 s
final speed, v_f = -4 m/s
Impulse = change in momentum



Hence, impulse of the object is equal to 
Based on Newton's second law of motion, the net force applied to an object is equal to the product of the mass of the object and the acceleration it experiences. That is,
F = ma
If we are to assume that the net force is constant and that the mass is increased, the acceleration should therefore decrease in order to make constant the value at the right-hand side of the equation.
The average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
The correct answer is option D.
In the given graph, we can deduce the following;
- the total time of the motion, = 1 mins + 45 s = 60 s + 45 s = 105 s
The average speed of the ant is calculated as;

The total distance from the graph is calculated as follows;
- first horizontal distance from 2 cm to 8 cm = 8 - 2 = 6 cm
- first upward distance from 3 cm to 5 cm = 5 - 3 = 2 cm
- second horizontal distance from 8 cm to 6 cm = 8 - 6 = 2 cm
- second upward distance from 5 cm to 12 cm = 12 - 5 = 7 cm
- third horizontal distance from 6 cm to 13 cm = 13 - 6 = 7 cm
- fourth downward distance from 12 cm to 9 cm = 3 cm
- final horizontal distance from 13 cm to 15 cm = 2cm
The total distance = (6 + 2 + 2 + 7 + 7 + 3 + 2) cm = 29 cm

The average velocity is calculated as the change in displacement per change in time.
The displacement is the shortest distance between the start and end positions.
- This shortest distance is the straight line connecting the start and end position. Call this line P
- From the end position at x = 15 cm, draw a vertical line from y = 9 cm, to y = 3 cm. The displacement = 9 cm - 3 cm = 6 cm
- Also, draw a horizontal line from start at x = 2 cm to x = 15 cm. The displacement = 15 cm - 2 cm = 13 cm
Notice, you have a right triangle, now calculate the length of line P.

Use Pythagoras theorem to solve for P.

The average velocity of the ant is calculated as;

Thus, the average speed of the ant is 0.276 cm/s and the average velocity is 0.136 cm/s.
