Concept explainers
Problems 49 through 52 show a partial motion diagram. For each:
a. Complete the motion diagram by adding acceleration vectors.
b. Write a physics problem for which this is the correct motion diagram. Be imaginative! Don’t forget to include enough information to make the problem complete and to state clearly what is to be found.
c. Draw a pictorial representation for your problem.
