Question

A car travels in the x-direction on a straight and level road. For the first 2.00 s of its motion, the average velocity of the car is 7.60 m/s.

A) 15.20 m
B) 7.60 m
C) 2.00 m
D) 4.80 m

Answer 1

Divide the total displacement by total time to calculate the the average velocity of the car for the given time period. The average velocity is 15.20 m. Hence, the correct answer is (A).

Step-by-step explanation:

Average velocity is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time. To find the average velocity of the car, we need to divide the total displacement by the total time taken. Here, the car travels for 2.00 s with an average velocity of 7.60 m/s. So, the total displacement would be:

Displacement = Average Velocity * Time

Substituting the given values:
Displacement = (7.60 m/s) * (2.00 s) = 15.20 m

Therefore, the correct answer is Option A) 15.20 m.
