Sketch a displacement - time graph to show your motion for the following event. You are walking at aconstant speed across a field after jumping off a gate, Suddenly you see a horse and stop. Your friend says there's no danger, so you walk on at a reduced constant speed. The horse neigh, and you run back to the gate. Explain how each section of the walk relates to a section of your graph.
