Quick comprehension check
“On a position-time graph, a line shows a change in position of 15 meters over a time interval of 3 seconds. What is the average velocity of the object? An object's motion is represented on a position-time graph by a line with a slope of -2 meters/second. What is the object's average velocity? ”
