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.
