Kinematics: The Physics of Motion
This collection of links gives lesson plans, resources, activities, and labs on kinematics. Subtopics are frames of reference, graphing, vectors, motion in one dimension, motion in more than one dimension, circular motion, planetary motion, special collections, and velocity and acceleration.
-
Vector Quantities
In this applet students can see real time graphs of the position, velocity, and acceleration with time, and use four different scenarios with varying velocity and acceleration to explore the relationship between velocity and acceleration
-
Graphs of Motion
This hypertextbook includes detailed information about the graphs of position, velocity, and acceleration with time, and the relationships between the three.
-
Moving Man Simulation
In this interactive activity students can adjust the position, velocity and acceleration, and view graphs and arrows showing how position, velocity, and acceleration change with time.
-
Roller Coaster Simulation
Students can make changes to the roller coaster's track, the speed and mass of the car, the gravity acting on the car, and the friction between the car and track.
-
Virtual Car: Velocity and Acceleration
In this interactive activity, students can control a virtual car, and see arrows for velocity and acceleration of the car, and a velocity vs. time graph.
