Textbook Question
Chapter 1, Problem 3P
A jogger running east at a steady pace suddenly develops a cramp. He is lucky: A westbound bus is sitting at a bus stop just ahead. He gets on the bus and enjoys a quick ride home. Use the particle model to draw a motion diagram of the jogger for the entire motion described here. Number the dots in order, starting with zero.

- For a lab report, I have to answer these questions and am confused on how to get these answers from the graphs. The lab is on projectile motion and velocity.
