the x-component of velocity is distance/time = ∆x/∆t
You know that each time interval is 1, so the x-velocity is just the step value between the x's.
The horizontal position of a car in a parking lot can be specified by providing its x and y coordinates. At time t = 0 s the car is located at x = y = 0 m. The Figure below shows the position of the car at 1 s intervals, starting from t = 0 s. It turns out that the x component of the velocity is constant. Use the Figure to estimate the magnitude of the x component of the velocity.
