Question

An object accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of50 meters per second in 5.0 seconds. The average speed ofthe object during the 5.0-second interval isA 5.0 m/sB 10 m/sC 25 m/sD 50 m/s

Answer 1

To find the average speed, we divide the total distance traveled (50 meters) by the total time taken (5.0 seconds): The average speed of the object during the 5.0-second interval is 10 m/s.

Step-by-step explanation:

The average speed of an object during a given time interval is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. In this case, the object accelerates uniformly from rest to a speed of 50 meters per second in 5.0 seconds.

To find the average speed, we divide the total distance traveled (50 meters) by the total time taken (5.0 seconds):

Average Speed = Total Distance / Total Time

So, the average speed of the object during the 5.0-second interval is 10 m/s. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 10 m/s.
