Introduction to Rectilinear Motion
Watch a particle moving along a line and figure out how to draw the corresponding position vs. time and velocity vs. time graphs. It is possible to change the position function by typing "s(x) = " followed by whatever function you'd like in the input line. (You can also access this applet on GeoGebraTube.)
