Graphical Method for Calculating Uniform Motion and Uniformly Accelerated Motion

Abstract

t is very important to solve a lot of practice problems related to uniform motion and uniformly accelerated motion in order to acquire the basic knowledge of dynamics. In particular, the displacement-speed-acceleration relation is one of what students must understand by all means. In many teaching materials such as school textbooks, the solutions are generally calculated by using basic formulas. However, we know the fact that many students relying on the formulas cannot master the basic knowledge of dynamics. In this research, in order to help such students, we tried to solve a lot of practice problems related to uniform motion and uniformly accelerated motion by using a graphical method without using formulas.
