About This Lesson
Learn about position, velocity and acceleration vectors. Move the ladybug by setting the position, velocity or acceleration, and see how the vectors change. Choose linear, circular or elliptical motion, and record and playback the motion to analyze the behavior;
This is an excellent way to investigate vectors and motion using an interactive "ladybug" ladybird (UK) which will accelerate to follow the movement of your mouse. As things can happen fairly quickly it's great that you are able to replay and pause any motion you decide to record as well as the inbuilt ones mentioned above. You'll need a Java enabled browser and can choose to either run it live from the website or download it. Either way TEST IT FIRST! but then enjoy an open ended sandbox approach to this topic!
