The graph at the right shows the
acceleration of an object as a
function of time (each tick on the
vertical axis is 1 m/s2). The initial
velocity of the object was 5 m/s, and
it started at position x = 0 m. (a)
What is the object’s velocity at t = 2
s? (b) What is the object’s velocity
at t = 4 s? (c) What is the object’s
position at t = 2 s? (d) What is the
object’s position at t = 4 s? (e) Draw
the graph of velocity vs. time and position vs. time for this object.

To solve this problem, we will analyze the object’s velocity and position based on the given acceleration graph and the provided initial conditions. The key steps involve finding the object's velocity and position at the specified times using calculus principles (integration).

### Given:
- Initial velocity: \( v_0 = 5 \, \text{m/s} \)
- Initial position: \( x_0 = 0 \, \text{m} \)
- The graph shows acceleration (\( a(t) \)) as a function of time.
- You asked for velocities and positions at \( t = 2 \, \text{s} \) and \( t = 4 \, \text{s} \).

To proceed, I need more details about the acceleration graph (shape, values). Could you provide this information, or upload the graph?

The graph at the right shows the acceleration of an object as a function of time (each tick on the vertical axis is 1 m/s^2). The initial velocity of the object was 5 m/s, and it started at position x = 0 m. (a) What is the object’s velocity at t = 2 s? (b) What is the object’s velocity at t = 4 s? (c) What is the object’s position at t = 2 s? (d) What is the object’s position at t = 4 s? (e) Draw the graph of velocity vs. time and position vs. time for this object.
