Relative Velocity Simulation
If your pupils think relative velocity is the velocity at which you can run away from your relatives, they need this simulation. Two bikers want to meet at a specific time. Scholars alter the velocity of one rider to arrange the...
Lesson Planet
Unit II: Worksheet 2 - Velocity vs. Time Graphs
On the first of two pages, physics aces graph velocity versus time on sets of axes. On the second page, they look at graphs of position versus time and then draw velocity versus time on graphs right next to them. This is good practice in...
Lesson Planet
Unit II: Worksheet 1 - Velocity
Beginning physics scholars interpret two graphs depicting position versus time. For each graph, there is a series of questions to answer. The exercise is basic, but beneficial. Consider using it as an assessment of understanding after...
Lesson Planet
Unit II Worksheet 4 - Constant Velocity/Motion Maps
This is a smart approach to displacement concepts. Physics learners analyze a motion map and then draw qualitative graphs for time versus displacement and time versus velocity. Get your class thinking critically through the use of a very...
Lesson Planet
Unit II: Worksheet 5 - Velocity and Motion Maps
