The maximum speed of the tram must be higher than the average speed you calculated. Explain why.

[1]
d.

The tram continues along a straight track from Station Q to Station R.

The graph shows how the velocity of the tram changes with time during this part of the journey.

A velocity-time graph showing the journey of a tram between Station Q and Station R.

Use the graph to calculate the acceleration of the tram, in m/s2\text{m/s}^2m/s2, during the first 60 seconds after it leaves Station Q.
