Einstein Velocity Addition
Calculations of relative velocity of very high velocities.
Airplane In Wind
The cross-country navigation of an aircraft involves the vector addition of relative velocities since the resultant ground speed is the vector sum of the airspeed and the wind velocity.
Projectile Motion
Simulation of projectile motion. The range, height, velocities and times are shown for different launch velocities, angles and gravity.
Terminal Velocity
When an object which is falling under the influence of gravity or subject to some other constant driving force is subject to a resistance or drag force which increases with velocity, it will ...
Constant Positive Velocity
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving at constant positive velocity.
Constant Negative Velocity
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving at constant negative velocity.
Negative Velocity and Negative Acceleration
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving with negative velocity and negative acceleration. Links to 'The Physics ...
The Passing Lane
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time graph for two cars traveling with different velocities.
Positive Velocity and Negative Acceleration
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving with positive velocity and negative acceleration.
Negative Velocity and Positive Acceleration
Shows, by means of simple animation, the displacement time, velocity time, and acceleration time graphs for an object moving with negative velocity and positive acceleration.
