An elevator is initially stationary, moves upwards with constant acceleration for 3 s, continues with constant velocity for 5 s, and decelerates to rest in 1 s, as shown in the displacement-time graph.

Use the information from Figure 1 to plot a graph of velocity, v, against time, t, to show the motion of the elevator on the grid provided in Figure 2, clearly identifying points A, B, C, and D.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
