Question

The s-t graph of a person’s journey is shown in the figure below. Calculate the highest magnitude of velocity of the person.

  1. 0.15 m/s
  2. 0.2 m/s
  3. 0.4 m/s
  4. 1.4 m/s

hintHint:

1.4 m/s

The correct answer is: 1.4 m/s


    Formula used: 
    Velocity = Slope = y-axis coordinates / x-axis coordinates.
    Solution:
    V e l o c i t y space left parenthesis space O space t o space A space right parenthesis space equals space 6 over 40 space equals space 0.15 m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent
V e l o c i t y space left parenthesis space A space t o space B space right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator 6 minus 6 over denominator 70 minus 40 end fraction equals space 0 over 30 equals space 0 m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent
V e l o c i t y space left parenthesis B space t o space C space right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator 14 minus 6 over denominator 90 minus 70 end fraction equals 8 over 20 equals 0.4 m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent
V e l o c i t y space left parenthesis C space t o space D right parenthesis space equals space fraction numerator 14 minus 0 over denominator 100 minus 90 end fraction equals space 14 over 10 equals space 1.4 m s to the power of negative 1 end exponent
    Answer:
    The highest magnitude of the velocity of the person is.      1.4 ms-1
