Show Hint
- The average velocity during 0 to 3 s is 10 m/s
- The average velocity during 3 to 5 s is 0 m/s
- The instantaneous velocity at \( t = 2 \) s is 5 m/s
- The average velocity during 5 to 7 s is the same as instantaneous velocity at \( t = 6.5 \) s
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
To find the average and instantaneous velocities, we use the formulas:
1. Average Velocity: \[ \bar{v} = \frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} \] where \( \Delta x \) is the change in displacement and \( \Delta t \) is the time interval.
2. Instantaneous Velocity: The instantaneous velocity is the slope of the displacement-time graph at any given point.
Now, let's calculate each part:
- (A) Average velocity during 0 to 3 s: The displacement changes from \( 0 \) to \( 30 \, \text{m} \) in 3 seconds: \[ \bar{v} = \frac{30 - 0}{3 - 0} = \frac{30}{3} = 10 \, \text{m/s} \]
Hence, (A) is correct.
- (B) Average velocity during 3 to 5 s: The displacement does not change from \( t = 3 \) to \( t = 5 \) s, so: \[ \bar{v} = \frac{0 - 0}{5 - 3} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \] Hence, (B) is correct.
- (C) Instantaneous velocity at \( t = 2 \) s: From the graph, the slope of the line at \( t = 2 \) s is: \[ v = 5 \, \text{m/s} \] Hence, (C) is correct.
- (D) Average velocity during 5 to 7 s: The displacement changes from \( 10 \, \text{m} \) to \( 10 \, \text{m} \) (no change) in 2 seconds, so: \[ \bar{v} = \frac{10 - 10}{7 - 5} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \] The instantaneous velocity at \( t = 6.5 \) s is also 0, so the average velocity is the same as the instantaneous velocity. Hence, (D) is correct.
- (E) Average velocity from \( t = 0 \) to \( t = 9 \) s: The displacement returns to zero at \( t = 9 \) s, so the average velocity is: \[ \bar{v} = \frac{0 - 0}{9 - 0} = 0 \, \text{m/s} \] Hence, (E) is correct.
Thus, the correct answer is (4).
