4. Explain why we only consider one-dimensional motion when using a single motion sensor. Based on the definition of velocity, describe what you should observe in the velocity vs. time graph if you were measuring a stationary, distant object and you suddenly slid an object into the beam from the side [Hint: Think about the behavior of the position graph in this case.]

What is the equation of the particle's path in the x-y plane? b. What are the (x,y) coordinates of the particle at time=0 and as time → ∞o? c. What is the speed of the particle at time=0?
2. Juliet is trying to determine the height of her balcony from the base of the building without leaving her balcony. To do this, she asks Romeo for advice. Using concepts of physics that we have discussed in class, what advice should Romeo give to Juliet? Hint: Assume that Juliet has access to a timer and her reacting time to start and stop the timer is zero. Also, she has an object that she can drop and there is no air resistance. Clearly, explain your answer.
