Question

As the cat runs along the x-axis between points A and C, what is its average speed? a) 4.0 m/s b) 3.0 m/s c) 2.0 m/s d) 1.0 m/s

Answer 1

The average speed of the cat running along the x-axis between points A and C is 2.0 m/s.

Option (c) is true.

Explanation:

To solve the question, we need to assume values for distance and time.

Let's assume the following:

Distance between points A and C = 8 meters

Time taken to travel from A to C = 4 seconds

To calculate average speed, we use the formula:

Average speed = Total distance / Total time

In this case, the total distance is 8 meters (from A to C) and the total time is 4 seconds.

Average speed = 8 meters / 4 seconds

= 2 meters per second

Therefore,

Option (c) is true.
