In the given graph, the following are the records of the distance of the tennis ball at a certain time (seconds) after being hit:

Time (seconds) Distance (meters)

1 0.5

2 1

3 1.5

4 2

5 2.5

To be able to get the speed of the tennis ball, let's use any of the data (Time and Distance Covered) in the graph, and use the formula in calculating the speed.


\text{ Speed = }(Dis\tan ce)/(Time)

Let's use 1 second = 0.5 meter. We get,


\text{ Speed = }\frac{0.5\text{ meter}}{1\text{ second}}
\text{Speed = 0.5 meter/second}

Therefore, the speed of the tennis ball is 0.5 m/s.

The answer is letter A.
