You time an ant’s movement as it walks along a meter stick. You record the following data: {(0 s, 0.20 m), (1 s, 0.26 m), (2 s, 0.32 m), (3 s, 0.38 m), (4 s, 0.44 m)}. Determine the ant’s velocity.
Let's plot the Position versus Time graph:
As we can see, the Position vs. Time graph is a straight line. The slope of the Position vs. Time graph represents the velocity of the ant. Let's find the slope of the graph:
Answer:
"v_{ant}=0.06\\ \\dfrac{m}{s}."
