Final Answer:
If the acceleration in question 8 is constant, the average velocity of the object can be found by adding its initial and final velocities and dividing the result by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
When acceleration is constant, the relationship between acceleration, initial velocity, final velocity, and displacement can be described by the kinematic equation:

v
f

+at, where
�
�
v
f
is the final velocity,
�
�
v
i
is the initial velocity,
�
a is the acceleration, and
�
t is the time. To find average velocity (

is applied. This is derived from the fact that the average velocity over a constant acceleration interval is the arithmetic mean of the initial and final velocities. So, the average velocity is the sum of the initial and final velocities divided by 2.
Option C is the answer.
