Answer

a) 1- $\rm\left(0\;s,0\;m\right)$ 2- $\rm\left(2\;s,25\;m\right)$ 3- $\rm\left(4\;s,90\;m\right)$ 4- $\rm\left(6\;s,210\;m\right)$ 5- $\rm\left(8\;s,400\;m\right)$ 6- $\rm\left(10\;s,520\;m\right)$ 7- $\rm\left(12\;s,600\;m\right)$ 8- $\rm\left(14\;s,680\;m\right)$ 9- $\rm\left(16\;s,730\;m\right)$ b) See the graph below.

Work Step by Step

a) We know that the camera takes a frame each to seconds. And we can see the position of the car every 2 seconds as well. So, the points here are as follow: 1- $\rm\left(0\;s,0\;m\right)$ 2- $\rm\left(2\;s,25\;m\right)$ 3- $\rm\left(4\;s,90\;m\right)$ 4- $\rm\left(6\;s,210\;m\right)$ 5- $\rm\left(8\;s,400\;m\right)$ 6- $\rm\left(10\;s,520\;m\right)$ 7- $\rm\left(12\;s,600\;m\right)$ 8- $\rm\left(14\;s,680\;m\right)$ 9- $\rm\left(16\;s,730\;m\right)$ b) We just need to plug the dots onto the $t-x$ graph, as seen below.
