Problem

A car increases its velocity uniformly from 10 m/s10\,\text{m/s} to 30 m/s30\,\text{m/s} in the first 5 s5\,\text{s} and then keeps moving with this speed for the next 5 s5\,\text{s}. Which one of the following statements is correct? a) The average acceleration during the entire 10 s10\,\text{s} is 4 m/s24\,\text{m/s}^2 and the instantaneous acceleration at t=7 st = 7\,\text{s} is 0 m/s20\,\text{m/s}^2. b) The average acceleration during the entire 10 s10\,\text{s} is 2 m/s22\,\text{m/s}^2 and the instantaneous acceleration at t=7 st = 7\,\text{s} is 2 m/s22\,\text{m/s}^2. c) The average acceleration during the entire 10 s10\,\text{s} is 2 m/s22\,\text{m/s}^2 and the instantaneous acceleration at t=7 st = 7\,\text{s} is 0 m/s20\,\text{m/s}^2. d) The average acceleration during the entire 10 s10\,\text{s} is 4 m/s24\,\text{m/s}^2 and the instantaneous acceleration at t=3 st = 3\,\text{s} is 4 m/s24\,\text{m/s}^2.
