Take control of a virtual car and learn how vectors are used to represent velocity and acceleration in this interactive activity developed for Teachers' Domain.

This resource provides flexible alternate or additional learning activities for students learning about the concepts of distance, speed, and acceleration.

An illustrated example of a speed-time graph plotted with speed on the vertical axis against time on the horizontal axis.

This project is an experiment in classical physics. You'll be following in Galileo's footsteps, and investigating Newton's laws of motion, but you'll be taking advantage of modern video recording technology to make your measurements. The...

In this part of a physics lesson, examine how the actual slope value of any straight line on a velocity-time graph is the acceleration of the object.

Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration vectors by moving the ladybug. Set the position, velocity, or acceleration, and see how the vectors change.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] An online chapter focused on motion and the shapes it takes. Topics range from speed and velocity to acceleration and free fall. Find detailed visuals, learning...

This study guide on motion covers some key vocabulary and terms to describe motion: displacement vs. distance, acceleration, speed vs. velocity, and instantaneous vs. average. It includes graphs showing distance vs. time, velocity vs....

Using the free-fall constants and gravity acceleration equations, we can determine many things about the position, velocity, and speed of a projectile. Here are a few examples and explanations. This is a great review for the AP Calculus...

Explore forces and motion as you push household objects up and down a ramp. Lower and raise the ramp to see how the angle of inclination affects the parallel forces.

This is a summary of the main topics for AP Physics Chapter 2 Kinematics. These include Displacement; Vectors, Scalars, and Coordinate Systems; Time, Velocity, and Speed; Acceleration; Motion Equations for Constant Acceleration in One...

Kinetic energy is defined and explained--learning exercises are included to assess your understanding.

Prepare for the AP Calculus exam by reviewing the most common relationships that are used in calculus. Formulas and examples are provided.
