Description:

The motion starts at t= 0s the particle has an initial velocity of 2m/s to the left but is under acceleration which is in the positive x-axis, as a result, at time t= 2 s, the particle comes to rest for a moment and starts moving towards right till its velocity equals to 2 m/s, after that, it moves in the positive x-direction with the constant velocity of 2 m/s.
