Chapter 15.2, Problem 1eTH

In each of the following exercises, a motion will be described in terms of position, velocity, or acceleration. In each case:

1. Translate the description of the motion into simpler words that describe how you would have to move to produce this motion. If it is not possible to reproduce this motion, explain why not.
2. Sketch x versus t, v versus t, and a versus t graphs for the motion.
3. Draw a picture of a track and a ball such that the ball will move with the corresponding motion. Indicate on your diagram:

• the initial location and initial direction of motion of the ball,
• the location of $x=0$, and
• the positive direction.

The first exercise has been worked as an example.
