The area under the speed time graph given the total distance covered by car. What is the average velocity to two places of decimals?

A.

17.72 meter/sec.

B.

21.67 meters/sec

C.

2.5 meter/sec.

D.

20.45 meters/sec.

E.

13.33 meter/sec.

Correct answer is D

Time(sec) areas of the three sides are \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 2 x 20 = 20 x 2 = 40

\(\frac{1}{2}\) x 4 x 20 = 40

40 + 40 = 80

vel. = \(\frac{80}{4}\)

20 + 0.45 = 20.45 meter/sec.
