Questioncket will carry a communications satellite into low Earth orbit. Suppose that the thrust during the first 200 sec of flight is provided by solid rocket boosters erent points during liftoff. The graph shows the acceleration in G -forces (that is, acceleration in increments) vs time after launch.

STEP 1
1. The graph represents acceleration in G-forces as a function of time after liftoff.
2. We are looking for intervals where the acceleration is increasing.
STEP 2
1. Analyze the graph to identify intervals where the curve is rising.
2. Approximate the time intervals based on the graph's behavior.
STEP 3
Observe the graph and identify where the curve is increasing. The curve initially decreases, then increases after reaching a minimum point, and finally levels off.
STEP 4
Identify the minimum point on the graph. The curve reaches a minimum at approximately .
STEP 5
Determine the interval over which the acceleration is increasing. The curve increases from the minimum point at approximately seconds to approximately seconds.
The acceleration is increasing over the interval:
