About this app
Velocity-Time Graphs is an interactive middle school science learning app about motion and energy. Students explore how the area under a speed-time graph represents distance, calculate work from force and distance, and observe how potential and kinetic energy trade places while their total remains constant. Three guided tabs include adjustable conditions, visual diagrams, numerical results, and practice challenges.
Use cases
- Middle school students studying motion and energy
- Teachers demonstrating speed-time graph areas
- Learners practicing force × distance calculations
- Science classes exploring conservation of mechanical energy
Features
- Interactive steady-speed and speeding-up velocity-time graphs
- Distance calculations using rectangle and triangle areas
- Adjustable force and distance controls for work calculations
- Potential and kinetic energy values that change with height
- Constant total energy display across five selectable heights
