Displacement-time graph
 

Displacement-time graph problem 4




The displacement of a particle at time after leaving a fixed point O is . The diagram shows a displacement-time graph which models the motion of the particle. The graph consists of 4 straight line segments. The particle travels in the first , then travels at for a period of . The particle then comes to rest for a period of , before returning to its starting point when . Sketch a velocity-time graph for the motion of the particle from to .
