Question

The velocity of an object on the time interval [0, 5] is given in the graph below. Assuming velocity is measured in feet per minute, what is the average acceleration of the object from t = 0 to t = 5? Use units in your answer.

Answer 2

average acceleration =
\[\frac{ \Delta v }{ \Delta t }\]

Answer 3

Okay I know that but I don't know how to find the velocity with the given coordinates

Answer 4

There will be 3 average acceleration:
1. from t = 0 to t = 2
2. from t = 2 to t = 3
3. from t = 3 to t = 5

Find it 1 by 1, then find it's average (a1 + a2 + a3)/3

Answer 5

So, what about the v(5)-v(0)/5-0?

Answer 6

the velocity is not same one each other

Answer 7

We can use v(5)-v(0)/5-0, if there is just 1 velocity

Answer 8

So im confused how to solve this problem.

Answer 9

Do you have options answer

Answer 10

No I do not.

Answer 11

What I had explained above is what I'm thinking, Let's see the other visitor if they have some idea for your question.
