Let's solve this step by step.

We are given Displacement vs. Time (d vs. t) graphs and need to convert them into Velocity vs. Time (v vs. t) graphs.

Key Concept:


- Velocity is the slope of the displacement-time graph.
- If the line is straight, the slope is constant → constant velocity.
- If the line is horizontal (flat), slope = 0 → velocity = 0.
- Positive slope → positive velocity.
- Negative slope → negative velocity.
- Steeper slope → higher speed.

We’ll analyze each of the four displacement graphs and draw the corresponding velocity graph below it.

🔹 Graph 1 (Top Left)


Displacement vs. Time:
- Starts at (0,0) and goes to (7,7) in a straight line.
- Constant positive slope.

Slope = Δd / Δt = (7 - 0)/(7 - 0) = 1 m/s

So, velocity is constant at +1 m/s for all time from 0 to 7 seconds.

Velocity vs. Time Graph:
- A horizontal line at v = 1 m/s from t = 0 to t = 7.

🔹 Graph 2 (Top Middle-Left)


Displacement vs. Time:
- From t = 0 to t = 2: goes from (0,0) to (2,6) → steep upward line.
- From t = 2 to t = 7: flat line at d = 6.

Segment 1 (0 to 2):
- Slope = (6 - 0)/(2 - 0) = 3 m/s → velocity = +3 m/s

Segment 2 (2 to 7):
- Flat line → slope = 0 → velocity = 0

Velocity vs. Time Graph:
- From t = 0 to t = 2: horizontal line at v = 3 m/s
- From t = 2 to t = 7: horizontal line at v = 0

---

🔹 Graph 3 (Top Middle-Right)


Displacement vs. Time:
- From t = 0 to t = 2: from (0,6) to (2,2) → downward slope
- From t = 2 to t = 4: from (2,2) to (4,4) → upward slope
- From t = 4 to t = 7: flat at d = 4

Segment 1 (0 to 2):
- Slope = (2 - 6)/(2 - 0) = (-4)/2 = -2 m/s

Segment 2 (2 to 4):
- Slope = (4 - 2)/(4 - 2) = 2/2 = +1 m/s

Segment 3 (4 to 7):
- Flat → slope = 0 → velocity = 0

Velocity vs. Time Graph:
- t = 0 to 2: v = -2 m/s
- t = 2 to 4: v = +1 m/s
- t = 4 to 7: v = 0

---

🔹 Graph 4 (Top Right)


Displacement vs. Time:
- From t = 0 to t = 4: from (0,5) to (4,7) → upward slope
- From t = 4 to t = 6: from (4,7) to (6,1) → steep downward
- From t = 6 to t = 7: flat at d = 1

Segment 1 (0 to 4):
- Slope = (7 - 5)/(4 - 0) = 2/4 = +0.5 m/s

Segment 2 (4 to 6):
- Slope = (1 - 7)/(6 - 4) = (-6)/2 = -3 m/s

Segment 3 (6 to 7):
- Flat → slope = 0 → velocity = 0

Velocity vs. Time Graph:
- t = 0 to 4: v = +0.5 m/s
- t = 4 to 6: v = -3 m/s
- t = 6 to 7: v = 0

Final Answer: Draw these on the green grids



Here’s how to fill in each V vs. T graph:

#### 🟩 Graph 1 (Bottom Left):
- Draw a horizontal line at v = 1 from t = 0 to 7.

#### 🟩 Graph 2 (Bottom Middle-Left):
- From t = 0 to 2: v = 3
- From t = 2 to 7: v = 0
- Draw a horizontal line at 3, then drop to 0 at t=2.

#### 🟩 Graph 3 (Bottom Middle-Right):
- t = 0 to 2: v = -2
- t = 2 to 4: v = +1
- t = 4 to 7: v = 0
- Draw:
- Horizontal line at -2 (0–2)
- Then jump up to +1 (2–4)
- Then drop to 0 (4–7)

#### 🟩 Graph 4 (Bottom Right):
- t = 0 to 4: v = +0.5
- t = 4 to 6: v = -3
- t = 6 to 7: v = 0
- Draw:
- Line at +0.5 (0–4)
- Drop to -3 (4–6)
- Then to 0 (6–7)

Summary Table:



| Graph | Velocity Intervals |
|-------|---------------------|
| 1 | v = 1 m/s (0–7) |
| 2 | v = 3 m/s (0–2), v = 0 (2–7) |
| 3 | v = -2 m/s (0–2), v = +1 m/s (2–4), v = 0 (4–7) |
| 4 | v = +0.5 m/s (0–4), v = -3 m/s (4–6), v = 0 (6–7) |

Now you can draw these on the provided green grids accordingly.
