The graph consists of five straight line segments. The tool moves forward for 8 s while cutting and then takes 3 s to return to its starting position. Find
  1. the acceleration of the tool during the first 2 s of the motion,
  2. the distance the tool moves forward while cutting,
  3. the greatest speed of the tool during the return to its starting position.
