From 0-20m, the object is moving to the north at constant velocity right? (acceleration of zero). From 20-40, the object is stationary, and the velocity is zero? from 40-50, the particle is moving north at constant velocity. from 50-60m, the object is moving south with a constant velocity. from 60—> the object is accelerating right?

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

All looks correct to me. At the dot labeled 3, the object moves from the positive side of the origin to the negative side of the origin. Other than that I think you explained the graph perfectly.

Thank you. Understanding graphs in physics is high yield, especially the displacement and velocity ones.
