About

New MacOS software to learn kinematics YP Rectilinear Motion 1.0 is targeted toward physics teachers and physics students. It allows the user to plot a graph of velocity as a function of time with simple mouse clicks. The program uses this graph to build a graph of position vs time, and a graph of acceleration vs time, which are displayed in separate windows. The motion described by these 3 plots can be simulated. During the simulation, 3 vectors can be displayed in the animation window (positon, velocity and acceleration), and the tangent line can be drawn in the position and velocity graphs. System Requirements: YP Rectilinear Motion runs on any Macintosh computer with MAC OS 7, 8 or 9. It needs about 300 Kb on your hard disk and 3 Mb of RAM. Keywords: Physics teaching, sciences, motion, kinematics, graphs, slope, tangent, position, velocity, speed, acceleration, vector, simulation, animation.
