Assume this is an acceleration graph, where the X axis represents time in seconds and the Y axis represent velocity in m/s.

Between what time interval is acceleration the greatest?
A)
10 - 1.5 seconds
1.5 - 2.0 seconds
2.0 - 2.5 seconds
Acceleration is constant throughout.

The acceleration is the greatest in the interval 10m/s to 1.5m/s

Explanation:

From the given time it is evident that as the time goes the acceleration decreases which is called deceleration. The formula used to find the high deceleration interval is

a=
(v-u)/(t'-t)

Hence, the answer you would get is -16
m/s^(2), where negative sign stands to show that it is a decreasing acceleration.
