Exploration of a uniform rectilinear motion
Explore the position-time and velocity-time graphs representing the uniform rectilinear motion of the ladybug displayed in the app.
Modify the shape of the position-time graph by dragging the points that define its segments.
Use the Start / Pause buttons to start or pause the animation of the ladybug's motion, or drag point t that identifies time to manually explore the animation.
Use the Velocity checkbox to show or hide the velocity-time graph of the ladybug's motion.
Explore a uniform rectilinear motion...
... and now try it yourself!
Modify the position-time graph so that the ladybug remains at rest for 4 seconds. Describe the graph you obtained.
Modify the position-time graph so that the ladybug moves with exactly two different velocities across its full motion. Describe the graph you obtained.
Describe the characteristics of the position-time and velocity-time graphs in the intervals during which the ladybug is returning to its starting point.
