Directions: Answer ALL parts. Show all work and please write neatly.

A crane and box are both initially at rest. At time t=0 s, the crane begins to drive forward at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s, while also lifting the box with an upward acceleration of 1 m/s2. The box does not swing while being lifted by the crane.

part a) Draw the path the block would take as it moves with constant velocity in the horizontal direction, as it accelerates upwards.

part b) Sketch the shape of the path taken by the box as it is lifted by the crane as viewed by a stationary observer. Justify the shape of the path you drew above.
