Force and motion


Model 1a.1

In this model, you can calculate the speed of a journey from the distance and time.

Note that you can only change the values in the boxes. All the other cells are locked. 


Model 1a.2

This model is similar to Model 1a.1. You can calculate the speed of a journey from the distance and time. There are three columns for doing separate calculations so that you can compare the results.


Model 1a.3

In Models 1a.1 and 1a.2, you could only calculate the speed knowing the distance and time. Here, you can calculate any one of the three variables (speed, distance or time) if you know the values of the other two.

Note that the units used in this model are metres and seconds. These are the conventional units that will be used in the later models.
