For
the
constant
motion
of
an
object
in
a
one-dimensional
frame
of
reference,
we
use
the
above
equation,
and
define
it
as:
Directions:
Write
a
function
for
the
following
graphs.
For
each
of
the
following
graphs:
a) Write
a
list
of
as
many
details
as
possible
about
the
motion
b) Write
on
the
x(t)
function
c) Draw
a
motion
diagram.
