Distance rises from 20 m to 100 m between 4 s and 12 s. The graph gradient is:
A
5 m/s
B
8 m/s
C
10 m/s
D
15 m/s
Correct Answer: Option C — 10 m/s
Explanation:
A correct analysis gives 10 m/s when magnitude, direction, units and conditions are considered. The question tests whether the learner can d...
A correct analysis gives 10 m/s when magnitude, direction, units and conditions are considered. The question tests whether the learner can distinguish the required quantity from related ideas and use the stated information without adding unsupported assumptions. The alternatives 5 m/s, 8 m/s, and 15 m/s do not satisfy the governing definition, graph interpretation, direction convention, or numerical relationship in this case. In examinations, identify the known quantities, keep SI units consistent, select a positive direction where needed, and apply the appropriate definition or equation. This also checks that the answer has a sensible magnitude and unit.
