1. Problem Description

The problem asks to calculate the average speed of a sparrow between 4 and 14 seconds, given a distance-time graph.

2. Solution Steps

To find the average speed, we need to calculate the total distance traveled and the total time elapsed during the specified interval. The average speed is given by the formula:
Average Speed=Total Distance TraveledTotal Time ElapsedAverage \ Speed = \frac{Total \ Distance \ Traveled}{Total \ Time \ Elapsed}
From the graph:
At time t1=4t_1 = 4 seconds, the distance traveled is d1=2d_1 = 2 meters.
At time t2=14t_2 = 14 seconds, the distance traveled is d2=35d_2 = 35 meters.
The total distance traveled between 4 and 14 seconds is:
Total Distance=d2d1=352=33Total \ Distance = d_2 - d_1 = 35 - 2 = 33 meters.
The total time elapsed is:
Total Time=t2t1=144=10Total \ Time = t_2 - t_1 = 14 - 4 = 10 seconds.
Therefore, the average speed is:
Average Speed=33 meters10 seconds=3.3 m/sAverage \ Speed = \frac{33 \ meters}{10 \ seconds} = 3.3 \ m/s

3. Final Answer

The average speed of the sparrow between 4 and 14 seconds is 3.3 m/s.
