Answer

The graphs are as follow :

Work Step by Step

We have given that pipe wrench was dropped. Thus, the magnitude of initial velocity $u$ is zero. That is, $u=0$ $m/s$. Also, the final speed is $24$ $m/s$. Thus, the magnitude of final velocity $v$ is $24$ $m/s$. That is, $v=24$ $m/s$. Here $a$ is equal to the acceleration due to gravity $g$. Thus, $a=9.81$ $m/s^2$ Substituting $v=24m/s$, $u=0$ $m/s$ and $a=9.81$ $m/s^2$ in equation $v=u+at$. We get, $24=0+9.81t\implies t=\dfrac{24}{9.81} s\implies t=2.44648$ $s$. Thus, graphs will be made from time $t=0$ $s$ to $t=2.44648$ $s$. Using equation $y=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2$. We get, equation $y=\dfrac{9.81}{2}t^2$. Thus, y versus t graph is a parabola. Using equation $v=u+at$. We get, equation $v=9.81t$. Thus, v versus t graph is a straight line with end points $(0,0)$ and $(2.44648,24)$. Also, we have $a=9.81$. Thus, a versus t graph is a horizontal line segment from $(0,9.81)$ and $(2.44648,29.35779)$. Thus, we get the following graphs :
