Question

v(t) 0 j k l m 15. A particle moves along a straight line. The graph of the particle's velocity $v(t)$ at time $t$ is shown above for $0 le t le m$, where $j$, $k$, $l$, and $m$ are constants. The graph intersects the horizontal axis at $t = 0$, $t = k$, and $t = m$ and has horizontal tangents at $t = j$ and $t = l$. For what values of $t$ is the speed of the particle increasing?

Step 1

This means that when the particle is moving in the positive direction and speeding up (accelerating), or moving in the negative direction and slowing down (decelerating), the speed is increasing. Looking at the graph, we can see that the velocity is positive Show more…

A particle moves along a straight line. The graph of the particle's velocity v(t) at time t is shown above for 0 ≤ t ≤ m, where j, k, l, and m are constants. The graph intersects the horizontal axis at t = 0, t = k, and t = m and has horizontal tangents at t = j and t = l. For what values of t is the speed of the particle increasing?
