Apply the Brakes
written by Surendranath Reddy
This applet displays the motion of an object moving with constant acceleration. As a model of a car slowing to a stop, the object initially moves with uniform velocity when brakes are applied. The initial velocity, instant of application of brakes, and braking acceleration can be set by the user. The motion of the object is displayed using a motion diagram and graphs of position and velocity vs. time. This is part of a large collection of physics and math applets by the author.
