Physics Kinematics Solver 1D

Kinematics solver with animation, graphs, description, step-by-step explanation.

Kinematics solver with animation, graphs, description and step-by-step explanation.

Kinematic parameters: initial velocity u, final velocity v, acceleration a, time t, displacement s

Using 3 kinematic parameters as input, this app solves for the other 2. Users can define positive to be right or upwards.

An animation of the corresponding motion is played and the graphs of displacement and velocity against time are plotted along with it in real time.

A step-by-step solution is generated, including which equation of motion (out of the four equations) and what values are substituted in at each step. Sometimes there are 2 solutions, the app will let you know and the user can toggle between each of them using the checkboxes (refeer to screenshots).

The description of motion in words is also generated along with how each description statement is inferred from the mathematics.

When solution is invalid (e.g. infinite values or negative t values obtained), the app informs you although it still shows the solution steps as to how the invalid values are obtained.

Useful especially for GCE O Level physics.
