Motion and kinematics simulations
Motion can be described with position, velocity, and acceleration. The virtual workspace supports repeatable initial conditions and measurement graphs for comparing these quantities over time.
Open the interactive physics simulatorConcepts to investigate
- Displacement and distance
- Velocity
- Acceleration
- Projectile trajectories
How to use the simulator
- Choose a prepared experiment or create a scene with approved objects.
- Predict what will happen before changing a single variable.
- Run, pause, reset, inspect, and graph supported measurements.
- Compare the result with the model limitations and an independent calculation or practical measurement.
