The velocity vs. time graph for an object moving along a straight path is shown in Figure P2.24. (i) Find the average acceleration of the object during the time intervals (a) 0 to 5.0 s, (b) 5.0 s to 15 s, and (c) 0 to 20 s. (ii) Find the instantaneous acceleration at (a) 2.0 s, (b) 10 s, and (c) 18 s.

Consider a production line with five stations. station 1 can produce a unit in 9 minutes. station 2 can produce a unit in 10 minutes. station 3 has two identical machines, each of which can process a unit in 12 minutes (each unit only needs to be processed on one of the two machines. station 4 can produce a unit in 5 minutes. station 5 can produce a unit in 8 minutes. which station is the bottleneck station?
