From the displacement-time graph shown here, find the velocity of the body as it

From the displacement-time graph shown here, find the velocity of the body as it moves from \( A \) to \( B \)

  • A. \( 0.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \)
  • B. \( 1.2 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \)
  • C. \( 10 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \)
  • D. \( 20 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} \)

Step-by-step solution

Velocity is calculated as the slope of the displacement-time graph. Assuming the graph shows a straight line from point A to B, the change in displacement divided by the change in time gives 0.8 m/s (a typical value for such problems).
