To determine the acceleration of the cart from a velocity versus time graph,

you can examine the slope of the line on the graph. If the slope is positive,
the velocity is increasing, which indicates that the cart is accelerating. If the
slope is negative, the velocity is decreasing, which indicates that the cart is
decelerating. If the slope is zero, the velocity is constant and the cart is not
accelerating.

For example, if the line on the graph is straight and inclined upwards from
left to right, this indicates that the cart's velocity is increasing at a constant
rate, and the acceleration is also constant. If the line on the graph is curved,
the acceleration is changing and is either increasing or decreasing.

It is important to note that the slope of the line on the velocity versus time
graph represents the acceleration of the cart. The steeper the slope, the
greater the acceleration. The shallower the slope, the smaller the
acceleration.
