Java via CheerpJ: We've partnered with Leaning Technologies to allow our Java sims to run in a browser. This sim is not compatible with iPads. System Requirements and Recommendations Java Version: Supports offline use and offers improved performance. Java Version About Topics Motion Acceleration Velocity Description Try the new "Ladybug Motion 2D" simulation for the latest updated version. Learn about position, velocity, and acceleration vectors. Move the ball with the mouse or let the simulation move the ball in four types of motion (2 types of linear, simple harmonic, circle). Sample Learning Goals Is the velocity vector blue or green? How can you tell? Is the acceleration vector blue or green? How can you tell? Explain why the velocity and acceleration vectors behave as they do for the preset motions (linear acceleration I, II, circular motion, & harmonic motion). Version 1.07 For Teachers Teacher Tips Overview of sim controls, model simplifications, and insights into student thinking ( PDF ).
