Read the questions carefully and use the distance-time graph provided below to answer the questions. Make sure to show your work where necessary!

Distance-Time Graph

Imagine a distance-time graph where:

0 to 2 minutes: The object is moving straight ahead at a steady speed of 4 meters per minute.
2 to 5 minutes: The object stops moving for 3 minutes.
5 to 8 minutes: The object moves backward at a speed of 2 meters per minute.
8 to 10 minutes: The object moves forward again at a speed of 6 meters per minute.

Questions 1. How far has the object traveled at 2 minutes? 2. What is the total distance traveled from 0 to 8 minutes? 3. At what time does the object completely stop moving? 4. Describe the object's movement from 5 to 10 minutes. What direction does it go and at what speed? 5. What can you infer about the object’s speed during the time it was stopped? 6. Sketch a brief graph of the distance-time relationship based on the information above: 7. If the pattern continues, predict the object's distance at 12 minutes.
