Explanation:

The turtle is moving across the ruler for 10 seconds, this means his distance is increasing for this amount of time he is moving. Now, he starts walking backwards, so his distance is decreasing now for the amount of time he is walking backwards, which would be between 10 and 12 seconds of time. Now the turtle is unmoving, he is not going forward nor backward between 12 and 14 seconds, so he is now standing still:)

The turtle's distance from his starting point is constant between seconds. The turtle's distance from his starting point is decreasing between seconds.
