Chapter 1, Problem 45EAP
Problems 44 through 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. Problems 34 through 43 are examples of motion short stories.
