Applied Maths: Linear Acceleration Applets
| Distance versus displacement | Short but effective applet explaining the difference between distance and displacement | 4 Star | |
| Displacement-time and Velocity-time graphs | We visited this site in the last chapter, but it's useful to review it here | 4 Star | |
| The single greatest site out there for learning about velocity-time graphs. Unfortunately the site is blocked in most schools. It's open page is also not helpful | 5 Star | ||
| Drop a tennis
ball down a tube, and then by clicking on graph, you get a graph of
displacement, velocity or acceleration against time. From explorelearning.com so limited to 5 minutes |

| link | From a different site (in case you don't have YouTube in school) | 3 Star | |
| And dropping them from the tower of Pisa (in a bell jar!) | Animation of famous Galileo experiment | 5 Star | |
| How did Galileo discover his law of falling objects? | Nice 3 min video from teachersdomain.org | 4 Star | |
| Physics of Skydiving and terminal velocity | |||
| Graph representing velocity of a skydiver | from absorblearning.com | ||
| Explained in terms of forces | Short and Simple animation | 3 Star | |
| Another perspective | 4 Star | ||
