Drawing kinematics graphs

Read

In the section below are described 5 different motions that can be described as one-dimensional motion.

Do

For each motion, sketch position, velocity, and acceleration graphs, paying careful attention to salient features of the graph such as the character of the graph, the points where changes take place, etc. Take the start of each motion to be at $t = 0$.

1. A car slows to stop at a stop sign at time $t = t_0$ and then speeds up again.
2. A ball rolls up to a wall, hits it at time $t=t_0$ and bounces back.
3. A stationary object.
4. A dropped superball falls on a cement floor, hits the floor at time $t=t_0$ and bounces back up.
5. A ball thrown upward being released at time $t = 0$, reaches its highest point at $t = t_0$ and falls back down to its release height.
