Problem 44 show a motion diagram. For each of these
problems, write a one or two sentence 鈥渟tory鈥 about a real object
that has this motion diagram. Your stories should talk about people or
objects by name and say what they are doing.

A car travels to the left at a steady speed for a few seconds, then brakes for a stop sign. Draw a complete motion diagram of the car
A softball player slides into second base. Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram showing his position and his average velocity vectors from the time he begins to slide until he reaches the base
Your roommate drops a tennis ball from a third-story balcony.
It hits the sidewalk and bounces as high as the second story.
Draw a complete motion diagram of the tennis ball from the
time it is released until it reaches the maximum height on its
bounce. Be sure to determine and show the acceleration at the lowest point.
Determine the signs (positive, negative, or zero) of the position,
velocity, and acceleration for the particle in FIGURE Q1.8.
