Question

Problem 48 show a motion diagram. For each of these

problems, write a one or two sentence “story” 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.

Short answer

The length of the velocity vector increases when it increases and vice versa. The direction of acceleration is the same as the direction of velocity. It changes its direction when it decelerates.

Step-by-step solution

Problem representing the given motion diagram:

Mona stands on the balcony of the three story building which is at 50 ft and throws a stone with initial velocity of 3 m/s. The stone falls accelerating under the influence of gravity in a swimming pool. When it hits the pool, its acceleration becomes zero and settles down eventually.
