Motion Graph Simulation I
Description:
A simulation of a pendumum is shown on the left (x=0 is in the center, when the pendumum hangs straight down). You can see four choices of graphs for the y-velocity of the projectile by selecting from the table.
Question 9a:
Look at each graph and decide which graph is the correct one for the y-velocity. How did you arrive at your answer? HINT: You should click the reset button and step through the simulation one time step at a time.
Question 9b:
Look at each graph and decide which graph would be the correct one for the x-velocity. How did you arrive at your answer? How are the x and y velocities different?
