Download and install the "Moving Man" simulation from:

https://phet.colorado.edu/sims/cheerpj/moving-man/latest/moving-man.html?simulation=moving-man

Familiarize yourself with the simulation. Play around with the settings, change the position, velocity and acceleration, record the motion, and playback in slow motion. When you are finished testing all the settings, click on the "Reset All" button.

Step 1: Set the velocity 0.5 m/s by typing 0.5 in the velocity box. Click on the play button, the man will start moving towards the house. Pause the motion between the 8- and 10-meter marks, before the man hits the wall.

Step 2: Click on "Playback" button. Then click on the "Play" button to play back your measurement that you recorded in Step 1, notice that a vertical bar scans through the graphs and the corresponding position, velocity and acceleration values are displayed for each time of the man's motion, time is displayed on the horizontal axis of the graph.
