Question: A mouse moves back and forth in a straight tunnel, attracted to bits of cheddar cheese alternately introduced to and removed from the ends (right and left) of the tunnel. The graph of the mouse's velocity, v, is given in Figure, with positive velocity corresponding to motion toward the right end. Assuming that the mouse starts (t = 0) at the center of the tunnel, use the graph to estimate the time(s) at which:

(a) The mouse changes direction.

(b) The mouse is moving most rapidly to the right; to the left.

(c) The mouse is farthest to the right of center; farthest to the left.

(d) The mouse's speed (i.e., the magnitude of its velocity) is decreasing.

(e) The mouse is at the center of the tunnel.
