Students interactively create predictions of position, velocity, and acceleration graphs using java applets. The applets automatically classify student answers, so instructors can create graphs of student predictions.

Interactive notes with links to previous concepts, examples, and solutions.

Young scholars understand that vectors have both magnitude and direction components as they investigate velocity and acceleration vectors.

Through an animated illustration of a dot diagram and time graphs, students learn about positive velocity and positive acceleration.

In this activity, students will use a plywood ramp and various tornado tubes (made from tornado tube connectors and 2 liter pop bottles) to calculate the average speed of the tornado tubes. They will set up 4 investigations filling the 2...

Discover the difference between speed, velocity, and acceleration. Provides formulas and other interesting facts.

Test your knowledge of velocity and acceleration with this short quiz.

View the answers to a quiz about velocity and acceleration on this site.

Students investigate the position, velocity, and acceleration graphs. The graphs are available in PDF format.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Learn about the relationship between position, velocity, and acceleration for two objects in one-dimensional motion. Experiment with varying approaches to the race for both Irwin and Ruthie to see how...

Explore the forces at work when you try to push a filing cabinet. Create an applied force and see the resulting friction force and total force acting on the cabinet. Charts show the forces, position, velocity, and acceleration vs. time....

Graphs and examples help explain what the vertical axis, slope, and area represent on a velocity-time graph.

Students examine the graphs of the position, velocity, and acceleration functions of a particle. The example is available in PDF format.

For this activity, students measure the displacement and elapsed time of a moving toy car using a direct measurement video with an embedded frame counter. They then calculate average and final velocity, and the average acceleration, and...

This has been used for the physics portion of a ninth grade physical science course. This lab experience is designed to give young scholars a conceptual sense of the relationship between one-dimensional distance, velocity and acceleration.

Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration vectors by moving the ladybug. Set the position, velocity, or acceleration, and see how the vectors change.

Try the new "Ladybug Motion 2D" simulation for the latest updated version of the original game. Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration vectors.

In this introduction to motion activity, learners will get a personal understanding of speed and acceleration by experiencing it firsthand. Wheeled office chairs or other cart like devices are used to give one student a ride as a fellow...

Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration in the "Arena of Pain." Use the green arrow to move the ball. Add more walls to the arena to make the game more difficult. Try to make a goal as fast as you can.

By the end of this section, you will be able to do the following: Calculate displacement of an object that is not accelerating, given initial position and velocity; Calculate final velocity of an accelerating object, given initial...

In this interactive module, students will calculate displacement of an object that is not accelerating, given initial position and velocity. They will also calculate final velocity of an accelerating object, given initial velocity,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students solve problems involving displacement, distance, velocity, speed, and acceleration, and then explore problems and graphs involving one-dimensional motion.

This illustrated tutorial focuses on several examples of vector and scalar quantities including distance, displacement, speed, velocity, and acceleration.
