Draw a complete motion diagram of the car. 2. A child is sledding on a smooth, level patch of snow. She encounters a rocky patch and slows to a stop. Draw a complete motion diagram of the child and her sled. 3. A roof tile falls straight down from a two-story building. It lands in a swimming pool and settles gently to the bottom. Draw a complete motion diagram of the tile. 4. A student walks at constant speed to her locker where she stops to pick up her physics book. She then runs the rest of the way down the same hall to make it to class on time. Draw a complete motion diagram for the student. 5. A student drops a tennis ball from a third story balcony. It hits the sidewalk and bounces as high as the second story. Draw a complete motion diagram of the tennis ball from the time it is released until it reaches the maximum height on its bounce. Be sure to determine and show the acceleration at the lowest point. 6. A student walks toward the motion detector slowing down, stops for a few seconds and then walks away from the detector at constant speed. Draw a complete motion diagram for the student.
