Drive the car; Displacement; Velocity; Acceleration Decoded
Drive the car and see!
Follow the steps below in driving your car to see how displacement, velocity and acceleration of a moving car change!
1) Press Reset.
2) Enter velocity of car in input box (keep y-component of velocity zero).
3) Adjust acceleration slider of car to desired value (try 2 for a start).
4) Press Start.
5) After some time, increase acceleration for a while.
6) Decrease acceleration using the acceleration slider.
7) Observe the values of displacement, acceleration and velocity; do they make sense.
8) Change the variables you want to change after Resetting. Enjoy the ride!
Some Feedback
