A car moves along a road with a constant velocity. Starting at time t = 2.5 s, the driver accelerates with constant acceleration. The resulting position of the car as a function of time is shown by the blue curve in the figure.

a) What is the value of the constant velocity of the car before 2.5 s? (Hint: The dashed blue line is the path the car would take in the absence of the acceleration.)

b) What is the velocity of the car at t = 7.5 s? Use a graphical technique (i.e., draw a slope).

c) What is the value of the constant acceleration?
