**Velocity vs. Time Analysis**A plot of velocity versus time for a car for the first 15 seconds of motion is shown in the diagram below. The distance traveled during these 15 seconds is:**Diagram Explanation:**- The graph is a velocity-time graph, displaying velocity (v) on the vertical axis in meters per second (m/s) and time (t) on the horizontal axis in seconds (s).- The graph consists of two segments: - From t = 0 to t = 5 seconds, the velocity increases linearly from 0 m/s to 30 m/s. - From t = 5 to t = 15 seconds, the velocity remains constant at 30 m/s.**Distance Calculation Options:**- ○ 300 m- ○ 30 m- ○ 375 m- ○ 75 m- ○ 450 mTo find the total distance traveled, calculate the area under the velocity-time graph. - **Triangle (0 to 5 s):** \[\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 30 = 75 \, \text{m}\]- **Rectangle (5 to 15 s):** \[\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} = 10 \times 30 = 300 \, \text{m}\]**Total Distance:** 75 m + 300 m = 375 mThus, the correct answer is ○ 375 m.

A bird flies 3.50 km [East] and then immediately turns around and flies 7.50 km [West]. The bird's average speed for the entire motion is 11.0 km/h. What is the bird's average velocity. Give your answer in km/h to 2 decimal places. A velocity that is west should be treated as negative and a negative sign should be included in your answer. A velocity that is east should be treated as positive but no sign should be included in the answer. Do not include units in your answer.
