I am reading the tutorial on physics classroomOn physicsclassroom.com, and am at Meaning of Slope for a v-t graph. Itan assignment gives data for an object experiencing an acceleration:

enter image description here

This is the corresponding chart for the object's velocity:

enter image description here

At 0$0$ seconds the position of the object is 0$0$ meters. And the velocity is 0$0$ m/s which makes sense. After 1$1$ second, the object travels 5has traveled $5$ meters. The chart says that its velocity is 10$10$ m/s at this time equals 1 second. 

How is this possible if the object only travelled 5$5$ meters within that second? Shouldn't the velocity be 5$5$ m/s and not 10$10$ m/s?

It seems the homework tag applies even if it is not actual homework
