Plotting 2(or more) functions at once

[karkas]

Hey all, I want to ask a simple question that I can't seem to get answered myself. How is it possible to get Mathematica to plot 2 functions at once? As in, I want to have x^2 {x,0,1} and x^3 {x,1,2} in the same plot graph.

More specifically, what I'm trying to do is plot the y-t graph of a ball bouncing on the ground, and I'm thinking of doing so by combining the equations of motion for every discrete stage of the bouncing.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

g1 = Plot[x^2, {x, 0, 1}];
g2 = Plot[x^3, {x, 1, 2}];
Show[g1, g2]

If it isn't clear whether it is working then substitute x^3-1 for a moment

Thanks a huge ton. It was clear as hell, didn't think of that.
