The figure shows a speed-time graph of a particle in motion along a constant direction. Three equal intervals of time are shown. In which interval is the average acceleration greatest in magnitude? In which interval is the average speed greatest? Choosing the positive direction as the constant direction of motion,give the signs of $v$ and $a$ in the three intervals. What are the accelerations at the points $A, B, C$ and $D$?

The graph of an object's motion (along the $x-$ axis) is shown in the figure. The instantaneous velocity of the object at points $A$ and $B$ are $v_A$ and $v_B$ respectively. Then

The velocity-time graph of a particle in one-dimensional motion is shown in the figure. Which of the following formulae are correct for describing the motion of the particle over the time-interval $t_1$ to $t_2$?
$(a)$ $x(t_2) = x(t_1) + v(t_1)(t_2 - t_1) + (1/2)a(t_2 - t_1)^2$
$(b)$ $v(t_2) = v(t_1) + a(t_2 - t_1)$
$(c)$ $v_{\text{average}} = (x(t_2) - x(t_1)) / (t_2 - t_1)$
$(d)$ $a_{\text{average}} = (v(t_2) - v(t_1)) / (t_2 - t_1)$
$(e)$ $x(t_2) = x(t_1) + v_{\text{average}}(t_2 - t_1) + (1/2)a_{\text{average}}(t_2 - t_1)^2$
$(f)$ $x(t_2) - x(t_1) = \text{area under the } v-t \text{ curve bounded by the } t\text{-axis and the dotted lines shown.}$
