Kinematics · ch03-motion-in-a-straight-line

Pick initial velocity and acceleration; observe how position evolves with time.

Controls

Initial velocity u5.00 m/s

Acceleration a2.00 m/s²

Time window10 s

Live values

v = u + a t

s = u t + \tfrac{1}{2} a t^2

Try this: Set u = 0 to model an object starting from rest; the position curve becomes a perfect parabola.
