Question 13
A container ship left Manila Bay at 5:00 am. The following graph shows the distance it travelled during the first five seconds of the trip. The data was graphed and was found to follow the trend d=3t² where v is the distance and t is the time. Which of the following best describes its acceleration?
Editorial correction: use d for distance, as shown by the vertical axis; assume motion in one direction.
