The first question is asking for velocity, which is defined as meters per second, as shown in your answer choices. The first thing you need to do is convert everything to a similar unit of seconds.
2 hours, 2 minutes, and 57 seconds = 122 minutes and 57 seconds = 7,320 + 57 = 7,377 seconds.
During this tie, 42,195 meters were covered. Since you now have all the appropriate unit conversions, the answer is 42,195 meters per 7,377 seconds. However, since this is not a simplified answer, you should look to simplify it, which roughly is 5.72 m/s (Choice D)
The second questions requires you to look at the graph and note the changes between 4 and 6 seconds. In 2 seconds, the change in position is 80 to 90m. In 2 seconds, 10 meters have been traveled by the cart. During this time, the cart experienced a velocity of 10 meters / 2 seconds = 5 m/s. This velocity is constant during 4 - 6 seconds. Therefore your answer is B.
The third question deals with projectile motion. If you would like additional help, please message me. Good luck!
