Instantaneous Acceleration

Preparation:

The applet on Page 2 lets you investigate the relationship between the position, velocity, and acceleration vectors in a motion that can be controlled through the acceleration vector. In the Related Items area of the applet, there is a link to activities on acceleration to be carried out with the applet.

To start the motion, click in the Acceleration Dial. Then drag the acceleration vector in the Acceleration Dial to control the acceleration.

Currently, no detailed information about the features of the applet is available from the applet's Help menu.
