Motion with Uniform Acceleration – Animation & Graphs

Motion with Uniform Acceleration – Animation & Graphs

This interactive visualization lets you explore the motion of an object moving along a straight line with uniform acceleration. You can specify the initial position \(x_0\), initial velocity \(u\) and acceleration \(a\). The animation and graphs update in real time.

Equation of Motion

\[x(t) = x_0 + ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 \quad\text{and}\quad v(t) = u + at\]

🧠 What You Can Learn

  • How position and velocity evolve under constant acceleration
  • Effect of changing initial velocity or acceleration
  • The parabolic shape of the position-time graph
  • The linear shape of the velocity-time graph
