A toboggan is sliding in a straight line down a snowy slope. The table shows the speed of the toboggan at various times during its trip.
(a) Make a graph of the speed as a function of time.
(b) Judging by the graph, is it plausible that the toboggan's acceleration is constant? If so, what is the acceleration?
Time Elapsed, t (s) Speed of Toboggan, v (m/s)
