The Motion Map and Constant Acceleration

The motion map shows an object’s position and velocity at given times

A long black arrow right labeled x. Above that are 5 green arrows pointing right end to end and are the same length. There are two more green arrows each a little shorter. Farther up from the line is a point. Much farther above that are 3 green arrows each longer than the previous.

How can the map be changed so it shows constant acceleration after the object changes direction?

Answer:

To show constant acceleration after the object changes direction on the motion map, you should add vectors that are all the same length and place them below the current bottom row of vectors.
