Answer:

12 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The average velocity is simply the change in displacement over the specified time interval. In this case we have a total of five intervals, which represents 5 seconds. Dividing 60 m by 5s, gives us 12 m/s, which is the magnitude of the average speed in the interval.

If C moves to position 5 (60 meters), the average velocity during these 5 seconds is 12m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Velocity can be defined as the rate of change of position with respect to the time.Velocity is the vector quantity as it indicates displacement direction and time.Average velocity of an object is total displacement by total time.

Velocity can be calculated by using formula v=d/t. where v=velocity, d=distance and t= time duration.

Average velocity can be calculated by, v= (Δx)×(Δt) Where Δx is the total displacement of the body and ∆t is the time.

The SI unit of velocity is m/s.
