Question
Quantitatively draw the corresponding velocity-vs-time graph(include numerical values). Be sure to label axes, ticks, and include proper units.

Transcribed Image Text:The image contains two graphs, both plotted against time (t in seconds) on the horizontal axis.
### Left Graph:
- **Title**: Displacement vs. Time
- **Axes**:
- Horizontal Axis (x-axis): Time, \( t \) (s) from 0 to 5 seconds.
- Vertical Axis (y-axis): Displacement, \( x \) (m) from -10 to 20 meters.
- **Description**:
- The graph shows a piecewise linear function starting at \( (0, 20) \).
- During the first second, the displacement drops straight down to \( (1, 0) \).
- Between 1 and 2 seconds, the graph dips further down to \( (2, -10) \).
- From 2 to 3 seconds, the displacement rises back to \( (3, -5) \).
- Finally, from 3 to 5 seconds, the graph shows a positive slope reaching back to \( (5, 5) \).
### Right Graph:
- **Title**: Velocity vs. Time
- **Axes**:
- Horizontal Axis (x-axis): Time, \( t \) (s) from 0 to 5 seconds.
- Vertical Axis (y-axis): Velocity, \( v \) (m/s) from -20 to 20 m/s.
- **Description**:
- The graph begins at \( (0, 0) \) m/s.
- Between 0 and 1 second, the velocity decreases to \( (1, -10) \) m/s.
- From 1 to 3 seconds, the velocity is constant at \( (2, 0) \) m/s.
- Between 3 and 5 seconds, the graph shows a constant velocity at \( (3, 5) \) m/s.
These graphs represent a simplified motion model, likely illustrating different phases of motion through displacement and velocity over the same time interval.
