Options

  1. A2020
  2. B00
  3. C1010
  4. D55

Correct answer

C. 1010

Step-by-step solution

The average velocity of a particle is defined as the total displacement divided by the total time taken.

From the given position-time graph:
At t=0 st = 0\text{ s}, the initial position x1=0 mx_1 = 0\text{ m}.
At t=10 st = 10\text{ s}, the final position x2=100 mx_2 = 100\text{ m}.

The displacement of the particle during this time interval is:
Δx=x2−x1=100 m−0 m=100 m\Delta x = x_2 - x_1 = 100\text{ m} - 0\text{ m} = 100\text{ m}

The time interval is:
Δt=10 s−0 s=10 s\Delta t = 10\text{ s} - 0\text{ s} = 10\text{ s}

The average velocity vavgv_{\text{avg}} is:
vavg=ΔxΔt=10010=10 m/sv_{\text{avg}} = \dfrac{\Delta x}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{100}{10} = 10\text{ m/s}
