5. The graph below shows the velocity <strong>vs</strong>. time graph for a toy dune buggy which started 20cm from the edge ofits track. Assume that edge of the track is the origin.<strong>Velocity</strong> (cm/s)402001 2 3 4 5 t (s)6-20-40a. Determine the change in position from t = 2 sec to 3.5sec. Clearly indicate how thechange in position shows up on the velocity graph. Show your work and use units!b. Determine the change in position from t = 5sec to 6sec. Clearly indicate how thechange in position shows up on the velocity graph. Show your work and use units!c. Construct a quantitative position-time graph for the motion. Assume a position of 20cm att = 0. Be sure to accurately number the scale on the position axis.Position (cm)1 2 3 4 5 6 t (s)d. Draw a motion map for this motion. On your motion map, clearly indicate the displacementsdetermined in parts (a) and (b).5
