This java applet illustrates relations between displacement, velocity
and acceleration for one dimensional motion.
| green curve | blue curve | red curve |
| displacement | velocity | acceleration |
| x | v=dx/dt | a=dv/dt |
- Try to move the mouse within the windows.
- Try to click and drag the mouse within the window
- ==> You can change the acceleration a
- Try to click the start button and look at the motion of a round ball.
Here is another java applet
| Blue line | Red line |
| displacement x | velocity vx |
- Try to click anywhere within the window and release the button.
- Try to click near top of the inclined plane and drag it up and down.
- Try to move the mouse when the ball is at the bottom.
Did you find out the relations
between displacement, velocity and acceleration !!!
