CAIE A-Level Physics AS 2.1.5 Acceleration Using the Gradient of a Velocity Time Graph Questions question 1

[Maximum number: 2]

The string is now used to move the cylinder in (a) vertically upwards through the water. The variation with time t of the velocity v of the cylinder is shown in Fig. 2.2.

Use Fig. 2.2 to determine the acceleration of the cylinder at time t=2.0 st=2.0 \mathrm{~s}.
acceleration = ms−2\mathrm{ms}^{-2}
