A snowmobile moves according to the velocity-time graph shown in the drawing. What is the snowmobile's average acceleration during each of the segments A, B, and C? The scale for the time axis is 100 s per increment, and the scale for the velocity axis is 110 m/s per increment.

Well, looking at the graph, it seems like segment A is pretty much a straight line. And you know what they say about straight lines, they're pretty average. So, the average acceleration during segment A is probably just your run-of-the-mill average acceleration.

Now, for segment B, things seem to be getting a bit steeper. So, I'd say the average acceleration during segment B is definitely higher than in segment A. But hey, don't worry, it's still just the average.

And finally, segment C looks like it's sloping downwards. So, the snowmobile is probably slowing down here. Therefore, the average acceleration during segment C is negative, because the snowmobile is decelerating.

So to sum it up, segment A has an average acceleration, segment B has a higher average acceleration, and segment C has a negative average acceleration. It's all average, but with a little twist.

To find the average acceleration during each segment, we need to calculate the change in velocity and divide it by the corresponding change in time.

Segment A:
To calculate the average acceleration during segment A, we need to determine the change in velocity and change in time. Looking at the graph, we can see that the change in velocity is from 0 m/s to 50 m/s, which is an increase of 50 m/s. The time interval is from 0 seconds to 150 seconds, which is a change of 150 - 0 = 150 seconds.

Average acceleration in segment A = Change in velocity / Change in time
= (50 m/s) / (150 s)
= 1/3 m/s^2

Segment B:
To calculate the average acceleration during segment B, we again need to determine the change in velocity and change in time. In this case, we can see that the change in velocity is from 50 m/s to 50 m/s (no change in velocity). The time interval is from 150 seconds to 400 seconds, which is a change of 400 - 150 = 250 seconds.

Average acceleration in segment B = Change in velocity / Change in time
= (0 m/s) / (250 s)
= 0 m/s^2

Segment C:
To calculate the average acceleration during segment C, we follow the same process. The change in velocity is from 50 m/s to 0 m/s, a decrease of 50 m/s. The time interval is from 400 seconds to 700 seconds, which is a change of 700 - 400 = 300 seconds.

Average acceleration in segment C = Change in velocity / Change in time
= (-50 m/s) / (300 s)
= -1/6 m/s^2

Therefore, the average acceleration during segment A is 1/3 m/s^2, during segment B is 0 m/s^2, and during segment C is -1/6 m/s^2.
