Help please. Teacher hasn't returned my work on this yet, and we're having a quiz on Monday. 

A 2.75-kg cat moves in a straight line (x-axis). The graph on the right shows the x-component of the cat’s velocity as a function of time. 

What is the net force on the cat?

a. 0
b. 27 N
c. 11 N
d. 2 N

The maximum net force occurs during the time interval

a. t = 0 to t = 10 seconds
b. t = 6 to t = 10 seconds
c. t = 2 to t = 6 seconds
d. t = 0 to t = 2 seconds

The net force on the cat is equal to zero between the time interval
a. t = 6 to t = 10 seconds
b. t = 2 to t = 6 seconds
c. t = 0 to t = 10 seconds
d. t = 0 to t = 2 seconds

Thanks!
