For the velocity-time graph shown, what is the object's acceeleration during the first 5 seconds?
Identify the initial and final velocities and the time interval for the first 5 seconds:
At t = 0, the initial velocity (the graph starts at the origin on the v - axis).
At t = 5s, the final velocity v = 20 m/s.
The time interval , and the change in velocity .
