1. Briefly describe the motion studied. Draw a motion map which represents the motion. (Your
qualitative motion map may be hand-drawn.) Explain the rules for drawing the motion map.
2. Describe the how each of the features of the graph (shape, slope, y-intercept, intersection of
lines) relate to the motion.
3. Show and describe the development of the equation from the generic linear equation, to
equations specific to the motion of your buggies, to a generalized equation for constant velocity
motion. Explain what each part of the equation means in terms of the buggy's motion.
4. Account for any deviations in your data from the best fit line in concrete terms.
