What do we know that might help here ?
-- Temperature of a gas is actually the average kinetic energy of its molecules.
-- When something moves faster, its kinetic energy increases.
Knowing just these little factoids, we realize that as a gas gets hotter, the average speed of its molecules increases.
That's exactly what Graph #1 shows.
How about the other graphs ?
-- Graph #3 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed DEcreases. That can't be right.
-- Graph #4 says that as the temperature goes up, the molecules' speed doesn't change at all. That can't be right.
-- Graph #2 says that after the gas reaches some temperature and you heat it hotter than that, the speed of the molecules starts going DOWN. That can't be right.

Answer:
Explanation:
From A to B
distance traveled with velocity
in time
from B to C
distance traveled is 0.5 d with
and
velocity for half-half time
divide 1 and 2 we get
Now average velocity is given by
taking
common
Neither of those questions makes sense, and I believe that you should not waste your time worrying about them.
#61 gives you a lot of information about a ball, and then asks a question about a glove.
#62 gives a mysterious equation, doesn't tell you what either of the variables represents, and then asks for a quantity without ever telling us how that quantity is related to the equation.
Personally, my response to both questions would be "Insufficient information given".
