Velocity-time graphs
Work through the pages to find out about distance-graphs and complete the questions as you go.
Speed and acceleration for a brave skater (PhysLab)
This animation shows a brave rocket-powered skater on very smooth ice in a vacuum! You can fire the rockets forwards or backwards and give the skater a constant acceleration. The experiments are to send the skater on a journey and obtain matching sets of distance/time speed/time and acceleration/time graphs for the motion.You can also experiment with terminal velocity by introducing air resistance.
Forces in 1 Dimension Animation
Apply a force to different objects and watch the graphs of force, velocity and acceleration plotted in real time!
