Strange Sht

This document provides instructions for a physics assignment to graph projectile motion based on a motion diagram. Students are asked to sketch the x(t), y(t), vx(t), and vy(t) graphs based on clues about the initial position and velocity and whether each changes at a constant or varying rate over time. The document provides hints for each graph and checks the student's answers.
