Explanation / Answer

(1)

Acceleration = v'(t)

So, a(t) = d/dt(65-3t) => a(t)=-3

So choice (B) is correct.

(2)

a(t) = p"(t)

So a(t) = 2

Hence acceleration at t=2 seconds is 2 cm/sec^2

So choice (B) is correct.

(3)

a(t) = v'(t)

=> a(t) = 65-4t

Hence choice (C) is correct .

(4)

a(t) = v'(t)

So a(t) = -32

Hence choice ( C ) is correct.

(5)

when derivative changes sign from negative to positive, then it is point of maxima.

So t=t3 is point of maxima, and there is no point in the graph. at which derivative changes sign from negative to positive.

Hence choice (E) is correct.
