Solution Summary
This solution shows how to create a graph showing a woman's walking trajectory as a function of time, given her movement pattern and the time frame.
Solution Preview
Please refer to the attachment for the fully formatted solution and the accompanying graphical depiction of the response.
Woman's motion can be described in the following stages:
1. 0 < t < 10 sec: Constant speed (say u). The displacement with respect to the origin changes as per the equation: x = ut ........ (1)
[Note: We take the woman's position at t = 0 as the origin i.e. x = 0]
Equation (1) is that of a ...
