at a constant speed
at rest
17. In segment A-B, the bus is moving __________ of 10 m/s for 5 seconds.
accelerating

21. Calculate the acceleration of the bus from point D to E. Show your work.
21. What is the acceleration of the bus from point D to E in meters per second per second
Can anyone help me with the last two? Also check if im right for the others please :)

Here is the graph. add these numbers to the end 14610344
So, look at the graph and divide the speed change by the time to took.
The acceleration is just the slope of the velocity line.
Hint: consider the units. Acceleration is in m/s^2
So, divide change in velocity (m/s) by change in time (s)
