How can you calculate average speed from a distance time graph

Answered by admin @



Answer:

Average speed is the magnitude of the slope of the distance time graph.

Explanation:

Average speed of an object is the rate at which its position is changing with time.

So, in a graph of distance versus time, the average speed between any time interval is equal to the change in the distance over the time interval.

Suppose, the time interval is from t_1\ to\ t_2. The distance traveled by the object is d_1\ at\ t_1 and d_2\ at\ t_2. The average speed is given as:

Speed=|\frac{d_2-d_1}{t_2-t_1}|

This is nothing but the slope of the graph between two points on it.

Thus, average speed is the magnitude of the slope of the distance time graph.
