### Velocity-Time Graph for a Car Traveling in a Straight Line

The figure displays a graph of \( v_x(t) \), which represents the velocity of a car traveling in a straight line over time.

#### Axes Description:
- The horizontal axis (x-axis) represents time (\( t \)) in seconds (s), ranging from 0 to 20 seconds.
- The vertical axis (y-axis) represents the velocity (\( v_x \)) in meters per second (m/s), ranging from 0 to 20 m/s.

#### Graph Details:
- The graph is a piecewise linear plot made up of three distinct segments:
  1. **Segment 1**: From \( t = 0 \) seconds to \( t = 5 \) seconds, the velocity is constant at 5 m/s.
  2. **Segment 2**: From \( t = 5 \) seconds to \( t = 10 \) seconds, the velocity increases linearly from 5 m/s to 15 m/s. This segment indicates acceleration.
  3. **Segment 3**: From \( t = 10 \) seconds to \( t = 20 \) seconds, the velocity is constant at 15 m/s, illustrating the car moving at a steady speed.

This piecewise linear graph effectively demonstrates changes in the car's velocity over time, indicating periods of constant speed and acceleration.
