The dots show where the object is in 1-second time intervals. The lines on this motion diagram are spaced 1 meter apart.
Question
1). What is the object's position at 3 seconds?
I
2). What is the object's displacement from 1 to 3 seconds?
3). What is the object's displacement from 0 to 3 seconds?
4). What is the average speed for the 0-3 second interval?

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.
