Using following data, draw time - displacement graph for a moving object:


Time (s)



0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16



Displacement (m)



2 4 4 4 6 4 2 0



Use this graph to find average velocity for first 4 s, for next 4 s and for last 6 s.

Average velocity =


Or V=1ms-1


For next 4s,



V = 0/4


V = 0 ms-1


As X(metre) remains the same from 4 to 8 seconds, velocity = 0


For last 6s,


V=


V = -6/6


V = -1ms-1
