- Segment a: The car's speed begins at 0 and increases steadily for 2 seconds.
- Segment b: The car's speed remains constant for 3 seconds.
- Segment c: The car's speed increases more rapidly and at a steady rate for 2 seconds.
- Segment d: The car's speed remains constant for 5 seconds.
- Segment e: The car's speed decreases rapidly for 2 seconds until the car returns to a speed of 0.
