For this lesson, students investigate motion graphs. Students predict what the distance-time graph and velocity time graph would look like for a student walking across the room for three different scenarios.

You will be given a velocity vs. time graph for the motion of a car. Your job is to match the graph with your car by pushing on the gas or brake or coasting at the appropriate moments. Before you start the matching game, you must set the...

Find out the instantaneous velocity based on a position vs. time graph.

Students must determine when a soccer ball reaches a given height based on the velocity with which it is kicked. Students are reminded that the ball will reach this height twice, once on the way up and once on the way down. Students must...

Students are finding the relative velocity between two objects using a position vs. time graph.

This lesson focuses on how to calculate average speed and distance traveled. It also explains how to convert different units of measure and provides a link to an assessment.

Students are finding the velocities of objects based on the position vs. time graphs they create.

This lab is designed to have students find the relationships that affect the maximum speed a car can go around a turn. Students will be able to modify the tires, road surface, the mass of the car, radius of the turn and the initial speed...

Experiment with changing velocity to help Tommy escape the dungeon.

In this activity, students use a Motion Detector to measure distance and velocity. Students prepare graphs of motion and analyze them. They compare and match graphs of distance versus time and velocity versus time.

Learners examine motion with words, equations, diagrams, and graphs. Some topics investigated are position, velocity, acceleration, and free fall. The tutorial consists of lessons and problems to check for understanding.

Determine the speed of an object using three different methods and to compare the accuracy and precision of the results of each method.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Definition of a parabola, exploring a parabola using the distance formula.

Practice problems dealing with displacement, velocity, and acceleration vectors for horizontally launched projectiles. In these practice problems, students will compare initial speed and time in the air for multiple projectiles.

A program that will randomly move an object from one location to another in three-dimensional space. You must determine the three components of the velocity vector that is created by this movement and also the speed of the object during...

A discussion and statement of an equation for orbital speed. An interactive JavaScript form allows the user to investigate the relationship between orbital height and orbital speed. A very good opportunity to practice and receive...

Observe the animation of the three cars. Use the animation to answer three questions about their acceleration and velocity.

Students must determine where a soccer ball will land based on the speed with which it is kicked. Students will also need to find the time in the air and the maximum height obtained by the projectile. This problem does not take place on...

This lab is designed to have students learn the factors affecting the RMS velocity for a sample of gas. The student will be able to set the temperature of the environment and the mass of the particles.

Solve problems using vectors that involve velocity, speed, direction, and magnitude. Includes examples and practice problems. Click on the buttons under the practice questions to see the solutions.

This PBS site is a classroom activity that takes a trip to a black hole. Learners apply calculations on distance, velocity, acceleration, time, circular motion, density, and more.

This lesson focuses on Newton's First Law: an object remains in the same state of motion unless a resultant force acts on it. If the resultant force on an object is zero, this means: a stationary object stays stationary; a moving object...

Students "learn about vehicles, velocity, angles, and energy," as they participate in a variety of creative and hands-on activities, like building adjustable ramps, researching modes of transportation, and predicting "what transportation...

A collection of calculators to find the average speed, time, or distance depending on the variables given.
