Sketch a position vs. time graph, a velocity vs. time graph and a motion map corresponding to each of the
following descriptions of the motion of an object.
4. The object is moving away from its original position (the x=0 position) at a constant speed.
5. The object is standing still.
6. The object moves toward the X=0 position at a steady speed for 5 seconds, and then stands still for 5
seconds.
7. The object moves away from the X=0 position at a steady speed for 5 seconds, changes direction, and
moves back toward the origin at the same speed.
