Transcribed Image Text:### Velocity-Time Graph for a Car Traveling in a Straight Line
The figure above shows a plot of \( v_x(t) \) for a car traveling in a straight line. The graph illustrates the car's velocity \( v_x \) in meters per second (m/s) as a function of time \( t \) in seconds (s).
#### Description of the Graph:
- **Horizontal Axis (x-axis)**: Represents time \( t \) in seconds, ranging from 0 to 20 seconds.
- **Vertical Axis (y-axis)**: Represents the car's velocity \( v_x \) in meters per second (m/s), ranging from 0 to 20 meters per second.
The red line shows the changes in the car's velocity over time.
1. **0 to 5 seconds**:
- The car maintains a constant velocity of 5 m/s.
2. **5 to 10 seconds**:
- The car's velocity increases linearly from 5 m/s to 15 m/s. This indicates an acceleration during this period.
3. **10 to 20 seconds**:
- The car maintains a constant velocity of 15 m/s.
#### Analysis:
- **Initial Phase (0-5 seconds)**: The car travels at a steady speed without acceleration.
- **Acceleration Phase (5-10 seconds)**: The car accelerates smoothly, increasing its velocity from 5 m/s to 15 m/s.
- **Final Phase (10-20 seconds)**: The car travels at a new constant speed of 15 m/s.
This graph is useful in understanding the dynamics of the car's motion, including periods of constant velocity and acceleration.
