If the velocity of a particle is $(10 + 2t^2) \ m/s$,then the average acceleration of the particle between $2 \ s$ and $5 \ s$ is..........$m/s^2$.

The displacement equation for a particle is $s = 3t^3 + 7t^2 + 14t + 8 \ m$. Its acceleration at time $t = 1 \ s$ is ....... $m/s^2$.

$A$ point moves in a straight line so that its displacement $x \ m$ at time $t \ s$ is given by $x^2 = 1 + t^2$. Its acceleration in $m/s^2$ at a time $t \ s$ is
