Question

The figure below shows a graph of vx versus t for the motion of a motorcyclist as he starts from rest and moves along the road in a straight line.

A coordinate plane has a horizontal axis labeled t (s) and a vertical axis labeled vx (m/s). The curve enters the viewing field at the origin, moves up and to the right with a slope that increases and then decreases until it is briefly horizontal at the point (6,8). It continues to curve downward with a slope that decreases, then increases until it is horizontal again, and moves in a horizontal line from approximately (10,4) to (12,4).
(a) Find the average acceleration for the time interval 
t = 0  to t = 4.0 s.
Answer:______________m/s2

(b) Estimate the time at which the acceleration has its greatest positive value.
Answer:____________s
What is the value of the acceleration at that instant?
 Answer:___________m/s2

(c) When is the acceleration zero?
Answer:Acceleration is zero when t =__________s and when t >______________  s.

(d) Estimate the maximum negative value of the acceleration.
 Answer:___________m/s2
At what time does it occur?
 Answer:__________s
