13) Consider the velocity graph shown for a particle moving along the x-axis. Assume the position of the particle at time t = 0 secs is given by s(0) = 5 in. (2 pts each part – 10 total) Show how you arrived at your answers for each question. Give answers using correct units. a) Over what time intervals is the particle moving right? How do you know? b) Over what time intervals is the particle moving left? How do you know?

The graph describes the position of a particle in one dimension as a function of time. Answer the following questions. a) In which time interval does the particle have its maximum speed? What is that speed? b) What is the average velocity in the time interval between $-5 \mathrm{~s}$ and $+5 \mathrm{~s} ?$ c) What is the average speed in the time interval between $-5 \mathrm{~s}$ and $+5 \mathrm{~s} ?$ d) What is the ratio of the velocity in the interval between $2 \mathrm{~s}$ and 3 s to that in the interval between $3 \mathrm{~s}$ and $4 \mathrm{~s} ?$ e) At what time(s) is the particle's velocity zero?
