Velocity-Time Graphs: Displacement Calculations Interactive Tutorial
The Velocity-Time Graphs: Displacement Calculations Interactive Video Tutorial describes the significance of area on a velocity-time graph. Details about how to calculate the area between the line and the time axis are explained and modeled through numerous examples. Common pitfalls are discussed and strategies for analyzing complex situations are described.
The video lesson answers the following questions:
- What is the significance of the area between the line on a velocity-time graph and the time axis?
- How does does one perform an area calculation for a velocity-time graph in order to determine the displacement?
This is the interactive version of the Tutorial. The interactive version breaks the full-length video into shorter segments and intersperses questions between those segments. The subsequent flow of the video is influenced by the learner's repsonse to the question. This interactive format is intended to assess comprehension and promote learning through feedback and correction of false beliefs.
The Interactive version of our videos is currently in the Development and Testing stage. Our current efforts are focused on creating the video content. We hope to eventually splice the videos into short segments and include interactive questioning between the segments.
