It produces Heat Energy that can be used to drive steam turbines to generate Electricity.
Observe that the object below moves in the negative direction with a changing velocity. An object which moves in the negative direction has a negative velocity. If the object is slowing down then its acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction as its motion (in this case, a positive acceleration). The dot diagram shows that each consecutive dot is not the same distance apart (i.e., a changing velocity). The position-time graph shows that the slope is changing (meaning a changing velocity) and negative (meaning a negative velocity). The velocity-time graph shows a line with a positive (upward) slope (meaning that there is a positive acceleration); the line is located in the negative region of the graph (corresponding to a negative velocity). The acceleration-time graph shows a horizontal line in the positive region of the graph (meaning a positive acceleration).
I don't know how I can show you the figure
Acceleration means speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction. The graph doesn't show anything about direction, so we just have to examine it for speeding up or slowing down ... any change of speed.
The y-axis of this graph IS speed. So the height of a point on the line is speed. If the line is going up or down, then speed is changing.
Sections a, c, and d are all going up or down. Section b is the only one where speed is not changing. So we can't be sure about b, because we don't know if the track may be curving ... the graph can't tell us that. But a, c, and d are DEFINITELY showing acceleration.
