Use the graph above to determine the change in speed of the object between 20 and 30 seconds?

6 m/s

Explanation:

To determine the change in speed of the object, we just need to determine its speed at t = 30 s and at t = 20 s, and then calculate the difference.

The speed at t = 30 is:

v = 6 m/s

While the speed at t = 20 s is:

u = 0

Therefore, the change in speed is:

Explanation:

The attached figure shows the acceleration time graph of an object. We known that the slope of the a-t graph gives the velocity of an object. The area under the a-t graph gives the velocity of object.

In x axis, time t = 30 s- 20 s = 10 s

In y axis, acceleration,

Area under the graph from 20 to 30 seconds is given by :

v = 30 m/s

So, the change in speed of the object is 30 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
