A. Using trapezoids, estimate the average river current speed from the north from 6:00 AM until 6:40 AM.

B. At approximately what time between 6:00 AM and 6:40 AM would you estimate that the river current had the average velocity?

C. A message in a bottle near this location is released at 6:00 AM. Assuming that the bottle travels along with the river’s current, approximately how far south will the bottle be at 6:40 AM?

D. What is the average acceleration of this bottle from 6:00 AM to 6:40 AM?

River currents (miles per hour) at a certain location are given below. The current
direction at this location was "from the north" during the time interval shown, and the
current did not exhibit any severe fluctuations other than those shown in the chart.
