$\text{Hello there! :)}$

$\text{The velocity is essentially the slope of the graph in a position vs. time graph, so:}$

$\text{Given: From 0 - 8 sec, velocity of 10 m/s.}\\\\\text{From 8 - 18 sec, velocity of -5 m/s. (In opposite direction because of the negative sign)}\\\\\\\text{From 18 - 22 sec, velocity of 0 m/s. (Object at rest)}\\\\\text{From 22 - 24 sec, velocity of 5 m/s.}\\\\\text{Graph the position vs. time graph using the velocities as the slope of the line }$

Answer:

I think it should be D

Explanation:

This is because the arrow pointing right is bigger than the arrow pointing left. Hence we can conclude the the force acting on the right is greater and hence it is accelerating

Ladybug walks 10 cm forward and 5 cm backwards in 20 seconds what is the average speed of ladybug what is the average velocity

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Average speed = 0.0075 m/s

Average velocity = 0.0025 m/s along forward direction

Explanation:

Speed is the ratio of distance and time and velocity is the ratio of displacement and time.

Distance traveled = 10 + 5 = 15 cm = 0.15 m

Displacement = 10 - 5 = 5 cm = 0.05 m

Time = 20 seconds

$\texttt{Average speed = }\frac{\texttt{Distance}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Average speed = }\frac{0.15}{20}=7.5\times 10^{-3}m/s\\\\\texttt{Average velocity = }\frac{\texttt{Displacement}}{\texttt{Time}}\\\\\texttt{Average velocity = }\frac{0.05}{20}=2.5\times 10^{-3}m/s$
