What is the average velocity of the car over the first 0.25m? m/s what is the average

Explanation:

At 4 seconds, the distance is 8 meters. Note the point (4,8)

At 8 seconds, the distance is 10 meters. The point here is (8,10)

Find the slope of the line through (4,8) and (8,10)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (10-8)/(8-4)

m = 2/4

m = 1/2

m = 0.5

The average speed on this interval is 0.5 m/s

Another way to look at it:

We've gone from 8 meters to 10 meters, so that's a change of y = 2 meters.

During this, the time has changed from 4 seconds to 8 seconds, which is a difference of x = 4 seconds.

The velocity is the rate of change of distance over time

velocity = (change in distance)/(change in time) = y/x = 2/4 = 0.5 m/s
