Part A.
The following factors determine the velocity of an object:
V = dx/dt
dx/dt = slope between x and the graph.
If the trial slope of a graph is constant, then that trial velocity will also be constant.
Given four trials, A and D are straightlines. The slope of straight lines is constant so velocity of object in these cases will also be constant.
Trial C object’s velocity in trial is zero because its position is constant with time.
Because Slope of graph in trial A is not constant, Velocity will not be constant.
The correct option is Trial B.
Part B.
The Magnitude of the Average velocity is given below:
|Vavg| = |(Xf – Xi)/(tf – ti)|
Trial A: graph
If t is 0, then x equals 0 and t=5, then x equals 2.
|Vavg| = |(2 – 0)/(5 – 0)| = 0.4 m/sec
For trial B
If t is 0, then x equals -2. When t is 6, then t equals 1.
|Vavg| = |(1 – (-2))/(6 – 0)| = 0.5 m/sec
For trial C
Because object is in the same place at all times, So
|Vavg| = 0 m/sec
Trial D, graph
If t is 0, then x equals 4 and t=6, then x equals 1.
|Vavg| = |(-1 – 2)/(6 – 0)| = 0.5 m/sec
Thus, in trials B and D, the maximum velocity is achieved for both objects.
We need velocity magnitude. So trial A and D will both have the highest average velocity.
