Answer 1

From the graph it looks like the object travelled 30 km in 6 hours - correct?

Answer 2

Yes!

Answer 3

so average velocity = distance / time taken

Answer 4

So it is C?

Answer 5

how?

Answer 6

Thats what am asking

Answer 7

so average velocity = (distance travelled) divided by (time taken)

Answer 8

are you sure you have listed the answer choices correctly?

Answer 9

Oh i get it

Answer 10

because the value you get will be in km/hr

Answer 11

Its A and yes i listed them correctly

Answer 12

I copy and pates the Question and Choices...So it has to be correct

Answer 13

30 km in 6 hours means average velocity = 30/6 = 5 km/hr

i.e. object travelled 5 km in every hour

Answer 14

Answer 'A' indicates it travelled 5 km in every second

Answer 15

unless the graph is not correct?

Answer 16

the graph is correct....am so confuse...

Answer 17

these types of online course can sometimes have mistakes.
is there someone you can check this with?
my guess is that the answer choices are listed with incorrect units.

Answer 18

Yes i have someone i can check with...and i guess the choices are incorrect because on the graph it says "time/hours"

Answer 19

exactly

Answer 20

I guess am gonna go with A since its right if we were dealing with hours
