About this Simulation

This interactive simulation models vertical kinematics by exploring the motion of a car moving in the Y direction and its relationship to free fall scenarios. Learners can adjust initial conditions, observe how displacement, velocity, and acceleration change over time, and visualise gradient relationships between position, velocity, and acceleration curves.

Learning objectives: Understand the kinematic equations governing vertical motion and free fall | Interpret position-time, velocity-time, and acceleration-time graphs and their gradients | Apply kinematics concepts to real-world motion scenarios
