![**Educational Content: Rocket Motion Analysis**
The engine of a model rocket accelerates the rocket vertically upward for 2.0 seconds as follows:
- At \( t = 0 \), the rocket's speed is zero.
- At \( t = 1.0 \, \text{s} \), its speed is \( 5.0 \, \text{m/s} \).
- At \( t = 2.0 \, \text{s} \), its speed is \( 22 \, \text{m/s} \).
**Task:** Plot a velocity vs. time graph for this motion and use the graph to determine each of the following:
(a) The rocket's average acceleration during the 2.0 s interval.
\[
\boxed{ \,\,\,} \, \text{m/s}^2
\]
(b) The instantaneous acceleration of the rocket at \( t = 1.5 \, \text{s} \).
\[
\boxed{ \,\,\,} \, \text{m/s}^2
\]
**Graph Explanation:**
- **X-axis (Time):** Represents time in seconds from \( 0 \, \text{s} \) to \( 2.0 \, \text{s} \).
- **Y-axis (Velocity):** Represents velocity in meters per second ranging from \( 0 \, \text{m/s} \) to \( 22 \, \text{m/s} \).
- **Data Points:**
- At \( t = 0 \, \text{s} \), velocity is \( 0 \, \text{m/s} \).
- At \( t = 1.0 \, \text{s} \), velocity is \( 5.0 \, \text{m/s} \).
- At \( t = 2.0 \, \text{s} \), velocity is \( 22 \, \text{m/s} \).
- **Line Graph:** Connects the points to illustrate the rocket’s acceleration over time.
**Instructions:** Use the slope of the line to determine accelerations.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F75b67ff4-dea7-4ce0-8185-1e0b5b617e19%2F7b2b834c-8a1e-45ad-ba22-539301766d75%2Fndsv4wl_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
