Question

A cat stalks an unsuspecting mouse. The movement of the cat is shown in the following graph of the horizontal position, x, against time, t. What is the average speed of the cat between t = 2s and t = 6s?

Answer 1

Answer:

0.25 m/s

Explanation:

Average velocity = change in displacement / change in time

v = (1.5 m − 2.5 m) / (6 s − 2 s)

v = -0.25 m/s

The average speed is 0.25 m/s.
