For this position-time graph, what is the average velocity for the entire curve? *image attached*

@gyanu this one please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Average velocity is defined as total change in position divided by time interval

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you get it? @hoopshiree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 5 divided by ... ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

final position(or altitude) is 0 m initial position (or altitude) is 100m total time travel 25 s so average velocity is = [final position (or altitude)- initial position (or altitude)]/total time interval so average velocity is = (0-100)/25=-4 m/s

oh okay, that makes more sense. I was going in the wrong direction.
