Hi,

der derivative is complete right, since
Condition[] has no derivative 

Dt[vx1[t]] evaluates to vx1'[t]

until you can tell Mathematica how to
find out
 a)  what the function value of vx1[t] for t>5 may be
 b)  to compute the derivative for t==5
 c)  determine when the symbol t in vx1[t] may be >5


Regards
  Jens
