Answer:
a) The average velocity is 32 m/s
b) See the attached figure. Slope of the line = 32.
Graphic: a line that passes through the points (0; 50) and (5; 210)
Explanation:
a) The average velocity is calculated as the displacement over time:
v = ΔX / Δt
where
ΔX : displacement ( final position - initial position)
Δt : time (final time - initial time)
Considering the origin of the reference system as the position where the observer is:
ΔX = 210 m - 50 m = 160 m
Δt = 5 s
v = 160 m / 5 s = 32 m/s
b) In the graphic position vs time, plot a line that passes through the points (0, 50) (because at time 0, the car is 50 m away from you, the center of the reference system) and (5, 210). The x-axis, time, is in seconds and the y-axis, position, in meters. The slope of the line is calculated as:
slope = (X₂ - X₁) /(t₂ - t₁) = (210 - 50) / (5 - 0) = 32. Then, the velocity is equal to the slope of the line. See the attached figure.
