A.1 Kinematics
Instructions:
Are you able to get all 10 motions correctly?
This simulation visualizes the average and instantaneous velocity.
Choose a graph and drag the slider. Observe
Where is the instantaneous velocity zero?
Where is the average velocity zero?
Two blocks are sent off with the same initial velocity on two different tracks.
Which one will arrive at the destination first?
Click "Start" to run the simulation.
Explain your observation (hint: focus on the horizontal and vertical components of the velocity)
Drag the time button to the right and observe the vectors on the left and graphs on the right
Throw the ball at random speeds.
What can you say about the vertical motion in each case (vertical red drops)?
What can you say about the horizontal motion in each case (horizontal red drops)?
