| Graphs & Tracks simulates a ball rolling on inclined tracks and consists of two segments. In Part I, From Graphs to Motion, students study graphs of position, velocity, and acceleration versus time for given examples of one-dimensional motion. They then try to set up an arrangement of sloping tracks so that a ball rolling on the tracks will reproduce the motion shown in the graphs. Part II, From Motion to Graphs, reverses this concept: students watch a ball rolling along a set of tracks and then try to sketch graphs that correspond to that motion. |
