Description

This Exploriments Motion App lets you explore how distance traveled by a body is equal to the area under the speed-time curve and displacement is equal to area under the velocity-time curve. You can analyze different types of speed-time curves and velocity-time curves and understand how to determine the distance and displacement. Each activity includes exercises that can be repeated many times with varying scenarios.

The Exploriments Series of interactive simulation-based tools makes conceptual learning in science an engaging and insightful experience. Visit www.exploriments.com to know more.


Activities:

Area under Speed Curve for Constant Speed
--- Understand that distance is equal to area under the curve of speed-time graph
--- Determine distance traveled by a body in uniform motion by calculating area under the speed curve

Area under Speed Curve for Changing Speed
--- Determine distance traveled by a body in non-uniform motion by calculating area under the speed curve

Area under Velocity Curve
--- Understand that displacement is equal to area under the velocity-time curve
--- Determine the displacement by calculating area under the velocity curve

Area under Continuously Changing Velocity Curve
--- Understand that a body is accelerating when it travels with continuously changing velocity
--- Determine the displacement by calculating area under continuously changing velocity curve


Additional Features:

--- Generation of real-time motion graphs synched with trails of the moving object
--- Repeat and revise with interactive exercises having varying scenarios
--- Interpret and analyze variety of motion graphs
--- Numerical and graphical output
