Linear Motion with Constant Speed:

This applet investigates linear motion with constant speed. The user is able to control the speed and examine the result on the graphs of the motion.

Directions

The speed may be changed by using the slider at the top of the display. If the speed is changed while the car is paused, the graph from that time on will adjust to match the graph of a car that had that speed from the beginning of its motion. This allows for comparison between two or more speeds.

The graphs for both speed and distance occupy the lower window. Click on the arrows or drag the divider to resize and show both graphs.
