Preview - 1-D Kinematics Motion Maps

Making a motion map from a position or velocity graph

In this simulation, you have blocks that you can combine to create a desired motion. You will need one set of blocks with the "setup" and a second set of blocks beginning with "go" for things to work. Once you've finished editing the blocks, click "recompile."

Then you click "setup" and "go" in the simulation (as before), and the car will do whatever you have programmed it to do!

Note: the white vertical lines are spaced every 50m so you know where the car is. Position 0m is at the bottom left of the screen, and the max position is 300m on the bottom right of the screen.

Questions

Please answer the questions below.

Create the following motion using the blocks:

Car moves forward quickly for 3 seconds, stops for 2 seconds, and then turns around and moves slowly for 6 seconds.

When you have completed the motion correctly, upload TWO images: one of the car's completed motion map and a second image of the blocks you used to program the motion. You will find both screenshot buttons on the NetLogo model at the top of this page.

Hint: what velocity does the car have when stopped?
