Correct Answer to Question 4


During the time interval t = 1 sec to t = 2 sec, the speed increases uniformly from 20 m/sec to 40 m/sec. Hence the average speed <V> during this interval is: <V> = (20 + 40) / 2 = 30 m/sec. The displacement change X during this time interval is X = <V>t. The time interval t is 2 - 1 = 1 sec, so the displacement change is X = 30 * 1 = 30 m.
