Chapter 2, Problem 1P

Figure P2.1 shows a motion diagram of a car traveling down a street. The camera took one frame every second. A distance scale is provided.

Figure P2.1

a. Measure the x-value of the car at each dot. Place your data in a table, similar to Table 2.1, showing each position and the instant of time at which it occurred.

b. Make a graph of x versus t, using the data in your table. Because you have data only at certain instants of time, your graph should consist of dots that are not connected together.
