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.]
