Explanation / Answer

a) object was stopped means velocity is zero only for an instance. as we can see v(t) curve cuts x-aixs at 7 sec

so at t = 7 sec .    ..ANs


bt at t= 15 sec it was at rest for 2 seconds , not stopped only for an instance/


b) object was rest means where value of v was zero.

for t = 15 sec to t 1 = 17 sec v is zero .

os it was ar rest for 2 seconds at t= (15, 17 ) sec


c) average velocity is total displacement / time .

total dispalcemnt is area under the curve of v vs time. (upper area is +ve an below x -axis is -ve)

x = 15 x 4 + (7 -4) x 15/2    - (10-7) x 15 /2   = 60 + 22.5 - 22.5 = 60

v = 60/10 = + 6 m/s


d) average speed = total distance / time    ( distance is always positive means all area is considered as +ve)

so d = 15 x 4 + (7 -4) x 15/2   + (10-7) x 15 /2   = 60 + 22.5 + 22.5 = 105

v = 105/10 = 10.5 m/s


e) for t = 0 to 4 sec   x = 15t

den t = 4 to 7   x   = 60 + 7.5(t -4)

den t = 7 to 10   x = 82.5 - 7.5(t-7)  



f) acc. vs time

for t = 0 to 4 sec a =0

den t = 4 to 10   a = - 5m/s2

t = 10 to 12 a = 0

12 to 15 a = 5

15 to 17 a =0

17 to 20 a = 5
