The position-time graph of an object is shown below. What is the velocity of the object when time t = 2.5 seconds

Answer: 2 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The position time graph shown above has position or distance on the vertical axis and time on the horizontal axis. The unit of the distance is in metes and the unit of the time is in seconds.

Distance = velocity / time

Time = distance × time

From the graph, the slope at any point determines the velocity of the object at that point.

Slope =( y2 -y1)/ ( x2 -x1)

y2 = 5(corresponding to the point on the vertical axis where t = 2.5 on the horizontal meets the plotted line when traced along the vertical axis)

y 1 = 0 (initial distance)

x2 = 2.5( on the horizontal axis)

x1 = 0(initial time)

Velocity = slope = (5-0)/2.5-0)= 5/2.5

= 2 m/s

The points(0,2) and (4,-10) lie on the same line and the points (-5,-3) and (2,11) lie on another line. Determine by graphing wh
joja [24]
You are asked to do this problem by graphing, which would be hard to do over the Internet unless you can do your drawing on paper and share the resulting image by uploading it to Brainly.

If this were homework or a test, you'd get full credit only if you follow the directions given.

If <span>The points(0,2) and (4,-10) lie on the same line, their slope is m = (2+10)/(-4), or   m =-3.  Thus, the equation of this line is y-2 = -3x, or y = -3x + 2.

If </span><span>points (-5,-3) and (2,11) lie on another line, the slope of this line is:

m = 14/7 = 2.  Thus, the equation of the line is y-11 = 2(x-2), or y = 11+2x -4, or y = 2x + 7.

Where do the 2 lines intersect?  Set the 2 equations equal to one another and solve for x:

</span>y = -3x + 2 = y = 2x + 7.  Then 5x = 5, and x=1.

Subst. 1 for x in y = 2x + 7, we get y = 2(1) + 7 = 9.

That results in the point of intersection (2,9).

Doing this problem by graphing, on a calculator, produces a different result:  (-1,5), which matches D.

I'd suggest you find and graph both lines yourself to verify this.  If you want, see whether you can find the mistake in my calculations.
