Motion or Kinematics

  1. Scalars and Vectors; Distance & Displacement
    Shockwave animation showing the difference between scalars and vectors in a series of slide presentations.

  2. Speed & Velocity
    Difference between distance & dispacement is discussed with the flying bee.

  3. Motion Related to Constant: Displacement, Velocity, & Acceleration
    Shows with animation & graphs of animation
    1. constant displacement
    2. constant velocity
    3. constant acceleration

  4. Describing Motion with Diagrams: The Ticker Tape Diagrams GbS
    Describing Motion with Diagrams
    The Ticker Tape Lab (or Air Table) in which the dot positions are analyzed both for constant and accelerated motion.

  5. The meaning and Shape of a Distance Time Graph GbS
    For constant and changing velocities.

  6. Constant velocity or constant acceleration; you tell the cow what to do. University of Oregon
    You chose initial position, velocity and acceleration.

  7. Motion with Different Accelerations SJW
    Low and high accelerations, with graphs; d vs t, v vs t, a vs t, followed by an explination.

  8. Acceleration: about everything you need to know GbS

  9. An object is falling under the influence of gravity. Time intervals are measured for various distances. University of Oregon

MultiMedia Physics Studios Presents

Annimated GIFS showing Physics in Motion

  1. Average vs Instantaneous Speed

  2. Constant Positive Velocity

  3. Direction of Acceleration and Velocity
    Shows a rolling object down a ramp as it accelerates, changes direction & slows down.

  4. Positive Velocity & Positive Acceleration

  5. An Object Slowing Down
    Negative acceleration or veleocity and acceleration are in the opposite direction.
