Spoiler:
Use pictures to represent motion!
F) None of them
G) B, C and D
H) All of them.
Motion Diagrams
A composite photo showing an objects position at
several equally spaced instants of time
Motion diagrams can be for:
- one dimensional motion (1D)
- two dimensional motion (2D)
We wont worry about 3D motion in this class.
Motion diagrams are based on
equally spaced instants of time
A) Slowing down
B) Constant velocity
C) Speeding up
A) Slowing down
B) Constant velocity

(Note: Need to assume the car is moving to the right!)
" "Answer:
There is no motion in the plane of
observation (ie. In the x or z
directions) We will not work in 3D!
" "
" "Answer:
Sufficient to say: The ball is not
moving, since at most we are
working in 2D.
