Step 1
** The graph shows the velocity of an object as a function of time. We can see that the velocity is constant from t = 5 s to t = 10 s. This means that the acceleration is zero during this time interval. Show more…

The velocity vs. time graph for an object moving along a straight path is shown in Figure P2.24. (i) Find the average acceleration of the object during the time intervals (a) 0 to 5.0 s, (b) 5.0 s to 15 s, and (c) 0 to 20 s. (ii) Find the instantaneous acceleration at (a) 2.0 s, (b) 10 s, and (c) 18 s.
The velocity vs. time graph for an object moving along a straight path is shown in Figure P2.24. (a) Find the average acceleration of the object during the time intervals 0 to $5.0 \mathrm{~s}, 5.0 \mathrm{~s}$ to $15 \mathrm{~s}$, and 0 to $20 \mathrm{~s}$. (b) Find the instantaneous acceleration at $2.0 \mathrm{~s}, 10 \mathrm{~s}$, and $18 \mathrm{~s}$.
The graph below represents the relationship between velocity and time for an object moving in a straight line. What is the acceleration of the object? (A) $0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ (B) $5 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ (C) $3 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ (D) $15 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$
