Answer:
Explanation:
1). To calculate the instantaneous velocity of the object, we will calculate the slope of the line CD.
Since line CD is a straight line, therefore, slope = 0
Hence instantaneous velocity = 0
2). Distance of the object when it moves from 0 to 9 seconds
= Distance traveled from (A to B + B to C + C to D + D to E)
= 3 + (3 + 0.5) + 0 + 0.5
= 7 m
3). Displacement = Distance between initial and the final positions of the object
= 3 - 0
= 3 m
4). Average velocity = [tex]\frac{\text{Displacement}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{0.5}{5}[/tex]
= 0.1 m per sec
5). Direction changes have been seen at t = 2 sec and t = 4 sec.
Hence object changed its direction of travel 2 times.
