The velocity of a particle moving along an s-axis is measured at
, and the velocity function is modeled by a smooth curve. (The curve and the data points are shown in the accompanying figure.) Use this model in each part.
(a) Does the particle have constant acceleration? Explain your reasoning.
(b) Is there any
(c) Estimate the distance traveled by the particle from time
(d) Estimate the average velocity of the particle over the
time period.
(e) Is the particle ever slowing down during the
(f) Is there sufficient information for you to determine the s-coordinate of the particle at time
