Speed, Distance and Time
by Anonymous
Drive a car to work out speed = distance ÷ time, then send it back to see how distance travelled differs from displacement.
About this app
Speed, Distance and Time is an interactive middle-school science app for practicing the relationship speed = distance ÷ time. Choose distances and times to create target speeds, read speed from the slope of distance–time graphs, and solve relative-speed questions involving cars moving in the same or opposite directions.
Use cases
- Middle-school students learning speed, distance and time
- Teachers introducing distance–time graphs
- Learners practicing speed calculations through guided challenges
- Students reviewing relative speed and direction-based addition or subtraction
Features
- Select distance and time values to calculate speed in m/s
- Complete challenges for exact, fastest, and slowest speeds
- Compare lines on distance–time graphs by their slopes
- Identify stationary, fastest, slowest, and 10 m/s motion graphs
- Calculate relative speed for cars moving in the same or opposite directions
- Use reset, next-question, and sound controls
