44. The graph in the figure shows the velocity of a particle as it travels along the x- axis. (a) In what direction (+x or -x) is the acceleration at t = 0.5 s? (b) In what direction (+x or -x) is the acceleration at t = 3.0 s? (c) What is the average acceleration of the particle between t = 2.0 s and t = 4.0 s? (d) At what value of t is the instantaneous acceleration equal to 0 m/s2?
