Question

with help of his brother, braden collects the data displayed in the graph as he is riding his new bicycle. using this data, calculate braden’s average speed on his bicycle. a. 1 m/s b. 4 m/s c. 5 m/s d. 25 m/s

Explanation:

Step1: Recall speed formula

The formula for average speed is $v=\frac{d}{t}$, where $v$ is average speed, $d$ is distance, and $t$ is time.

Step2: Determine distance and time from graph

From the graph, at $t = 5\ s$, $d=25\ m$.

Step3: Calculate average speed

Substitute $d = 25\ m$ and $t = 5\ s$ into the formula $v=\frac{d}{t}$, we get $v=\frac{25}{5}=5\ m/s$.

Answer:

C. 5 m/s
