Hi, I need help with this physcis problem. I've gone over it multiple times and can't firgure it out. Anyway you can help?

 

A car, initially at rest, accelerates at a constant rate of 2 m/sdue east (choose east as the positive direction; round your answer to the nearest meter per second; include units)
What is its velocity after 1 second? 
What is its velocity after 2 seconds? 
What is its velocity after 3 seconds? 
What is its velocity after 4 seconds? 
What is its velocity after 5 seconds? 
What is its velocity after 9 seconds? 
 
If instead a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/sdue east
What is its velocity after 1 second? 
What is its velocity after 2 seconds? 
What is its velocity after 3 seconds? 

If instead a car accelerates at a constant rate of 5 m/sdue west
What is its velocity after 1 second?
