Given:
We are given the x(t) vs time curve.
To find:
Speed of particle at t = 4
Step by step solution:
We know that the slope of x-t curve represents the speed of the particle.
To calculate the speed of the particle at t = 4, We will calculate the slope of the curve at t = 4
[tex]\begin{gathered} Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ Slope=\frac{40-10}{6-0} \\ \\ Slope=\frac{30}{6} \\ \\ Slope\text{ = 6} \end{gathered}[/tex]
From here we can say that the slope of the curve between x = 0 and x = 6 is equal to 5.
So the value of speed is also 5 units, Which is equal to option A.
