A mountain lion is napping in the shade as a deer saunters by at steady 48.2 km/h. Feeling the desire for dinner the mountain lion accelerates at 4.44m/s2 for 5.00 seconds.
Draw a motion diagram for both hunter and prey in the above scenario.
Graph the position vs. time of the mountain lion and the deer for the entire scenario. Label the axis and any major points.
You are driving along the highway at a steady speed of 90 km/h when another car decides
to pass you. At the moment when the front of his car is exactly even with the front of your
car, and you turn your head to smile at him, do the two cars have equal velocities? Draw a
position graph to describe the motion of two cars.
