Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a )
According to graph the object moves with constant velocity of 10 m /s during first 8 s and then its velocity changes to - 5 m /s from 8 th second upto 12 th second .
Initial displacement = 8 m
displacement during 8 s = velocity x time
= 8 x 10 = 80 m
total displacement = 88 m
b )
displacement during period from 8 th to 12 th s
= - 5 x 4 = - 20 m
total displacement after 12 s
= 88 - 20 = 68 m
c ) average speed = total distance covered during 12 s / total time
= (80 + 20) / 12
= 8.33 m /s
average velocity = total displacement during 12 s / total time
= 80 - 20 / 12
= 60 / 12
= 5 m /s .
