Lesson 5 · Reading velocity–time graphs

Feel your velocity

Drive the car again — but this time watch the second graph: your velocity. Move forward, stand still, then move back.

0246810mv = 0 (at rest)

Press Start, then drag the car along the road.

  1. Move forward ≥ 1 s
  2. Stand still ≥ 1.5 s
  3. Move back ≥ 1 s
