Relative Motion with Constant Speed

This simulation examines motion with constant speed from different frames of reference.

Directions

The sliders at the top can be used to adjust the speed and starting positions of the two cars relative to the outside frame of reference.

The radio buttons at the upper right can be used to select the frame of reference as either car. If neither button is selected then the outside frame of reference is used.

The graphs will display the values in the frame of reference selected.
