Exploriments: Linear Motion - Motion Graphs

** Ver 2.0 - Significantly improved the accuracy of motion graph interaction. Existing users please update **
This Exploriments Motion App introduces different motion graphs, including distance-time, speed-time, displacement-time and velocity-time graphs. The app lets you explore different characteristics of motion such as constant speed versus changing speed, average velocity, relation between speed-time and distance-time graphs and more. Each activity includes exercises that can be repeated many times with varying scenarios.

The Exploriments Series of interactive simulation-based tools makes conceptual learning in science an engaging and insightful experience. Visit www.exploriments.com to know more.
