Answer:

Not sure which statements were give to you for this question, but the vehicle's acceleration from noon to 2:00 PM was zero, the vehicle had a positive acceleration between 2:00 pm and 3:00 pm, and the vehicle had a negative acceleration at 4:30 PM.

Step-by-step explanation:

From 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, the vehicle traveled at a constant velocity of 70 MPH, meaning there wasn't any change to the speed. The velocity remained the same. An hour later, the velocity of the vehicle increased to 80 MPH, and finally at 4:30 PM, the velocity of the car decreased and was at 40 MPH.
