Question: [ 1 0 points ] The function v ( t ) , is a continuous and differentiable function giving the velocity, of a car ,

[10 points] The function v(t), is a continuous and differentiable function giving the velocity, of a car , in ftsec, traveling on a straight road, for 0t50. Values of the function are given for several values of t at 5-second intervals as shown in the table below.
\table[[t(sec),0,5,10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50],[v(t)(ftsec),0,10,21,28,54,66,78,82,74,60,72]]
a) Give reasonable intervals of t where the acceleration of the car is positive. Justify your answers.
b) Find the average acceleration of the car , in ftsec2, over the interval 0t50.
c) Find an approximation for the acceleration of the car, in ftsec2 at t=40. Show the computation leading to your answer.
d) Approximate the value of 050v(t)dt with a Riemann sum, using the midpoints of five subintervals of equal length. Using correct units, explain the meaning of this integral.
