Question: t t = 1 0 s , a particle is moving from left to right with a speed of 7 . 8 m / s

t
t =10 s,
a particle is moving from left to right with a speed of 7.8 m/s. At
t =20 s,
the particle is moving right to left with a speed of 2.2 m/s. Assuming the particle's acceleration is constant, determine the following. (Assume the positive direction is to the right.)
(a)
its acceleration (Enter your answer in m/s2. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
m/s2
(b)
its initial velocity (Enter your answer in m/s. Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.)
m/s
(c)
the instant (in s) when its velocity is zero
s
