Pushing an Object on a Frictionless Surface.

This simulator shows the Velocity, Position or Acceleration vs time graphs for an object pushed with a constant strength force for a set time. You can adjust the strength of the pushing force, the duration of the push and the mass of the object.

This simulator is useful in conjunction with Next Generation Physics and Everyday Thinking Unit EM Activity 1 Interactions and Motion NGPET video of a person pushing a cart and for Unit FM Activity 1 Interactions and Forces.
