6: Short way: it cannot be 2.5, 3, or 5 because up to 5 seconds it only has positive velocity so it must be moving forwards.

Long Way: Velocity is in m / s, multiply that by time (s) to get m or displacement. From 0->5 you have a triangle under the curve, (1/2)(5)(20) = 50 meters displaced positive, you need to then look when velocity is under the curve and use a similar equation to solve for the area but make the answer negative. Find the point where it equals -50 and that is where it will have returned.

Answer to 6: B

7. I cannot see the problem enough to answer this. Just know if the line is above 0 velocity is positive so it is moving the direction it started, when it goes below 0 velocity is negative so it is moving opposite direction it started.

8. Accelration is change in velocity. Whatever the slope of the velocity graph is acceleration. At t=8 the slope is 0 because it is not going up or down.

Answer to 8: A
