position m 80 60 40 20 20 40 50 time sec What is the instantaneous velocity at 60m 25s 10 20 40m 30 15s 40

Answer :

The instantaneous velocity at 60 m is zero, at - 40 m is - 1 m / s, at 15 s is zero and at 25 s is 0.8 m / s

Instantaneous velocity = Position with respect to time / Time

1 ) At d = 60 m, the instantaneous velocity is zero because the car is at rest.

2 ) At d = - 40 m, t = 40 s

Instantaneous velocity = - 40 / 40

Instantaneous velocity = - 1 m / s

3 ) At t = 15 s, d = 60 m

At 60 m, the car is at rest, so the Instantaneous velocity is zero

4 ) At t = 25 s, d = 20 m

Instantaneous velocity = 20 / 25

Instantaneous velocity = 0.8 m / s

Instantaneous velocity of a given curve in a position-time graph can be found by drawing a tangent to the curve and finding the slope of the tangent.

Therefore,

  1. Instantaneous velocity = 0
  2. Instantaneous velocity = - 1 m / s
  3. Instantaneous velocity = 0
  4. Instantaneous velocity = 0.8 m / s
