# A skater glides across the ice at a constant \( 6 \) \( \text{m/s} \). After \( 4 \) \( \text{s} \), friction gradually slows them down until they come to rest in \( 6 \) \( \text{s} \). They pause for \( 2 \) \( \text{s} \), then push off in the opposite direction, steadily gaining speed for \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \). Draw the velocity vs. time graph.

A skater glides across the ice at a constant \( 6 \) \( \text{m/s} \). After \( 4 \) \( \text{s} \), friction gradually slows them down until they come to rest in \( 6 \) \( \text{s} \). They pause for \( 2 \) \( \text{s} \), then push off in the opposite direction, steadily gaining speed for \( 5 \) \( \text{s} \). Draw the velocity vs. time graph.
