OpenStudy (welshfella):

average velocity is the distance from the starting point ( which you can read off the graph) / time taken to get there ( that is 10 seconds)

OpenStudy (welshfella):

So what is the distance 9 in meters on the vertical axis) corresponding to t = 10 s.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

* ( in meters

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- ignore the 9

OpenStudy (user123):

avg velocity would be just 5/10 = 1/2?
