The correct Answer is:
To find the average speed of the particle over the given time interval, we can follow these steps:
### Step-by-Step Solution:
1. **Identify the Given Data:**
- Speed during the first interval (v1) = 4 m/s
- Time for the first interval (t1) = 2 s
- Speed during the second interval (v2) = 6 m/s
- Time for the second interval (t2) = 3 s
2. **Calculate the Distance for Each Interval:**
- Distance during the first interval (d1) can be calculated using the formula:
\[
d1 = v1 \times t1 = 4 \, \text{m/s} \times 2 \, \text{s} = 8 \, \text{m}
\]
- Distance during the second interval (d2) can be calculated similarly:
\[
d2 = v2 \times t2 = 6 \, \text{m/s} \times 3 \, \text{s} = 18 \, \text{m}
\]
3. **Calculate the Total Distance:**
- Total distance (D) is the sum of d1 and d2:
\[
D = d1 + d2 = 8 \, \text{m} + 18 \, \text{m} = 26 \, \text{m}
\]
4. **Calculate the Total Time:**
- Total time (T) is the sum of t1 and t2:
\[
T = t1 + t2 = 2 \, \text{s} + 3 \, \text{s} = 5 \, \text{s}
\]
5. **Calculate the Average Speed:**
- Average speed (V_avg) can be calculated using the formula:
\[
V_{avg} = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{26 \, \text{m}}{5 \, \text{s}} = 5.2 \, \text{m/s}
\]
### Final Answer:
The average speed of the particle in the given time interval is **5.2 m/s**.
