Uniform and accelerated motion

Principle

The students observe the movement of a roll with the aid of a starter system and notice that the time of motion on a straight plane does not change, whereas it is reduced when the plane is inclined. They realise that, in the case of uniform motion, the velocity remains constant, whereas in the case of a motion that is accelerated due to weight, the velocity increases.

Benefits

• Experiment guides are very easy to understand, especially for younger students
• Associated competences are directly linked to the experiments
• Curriculum compatible
• Fit for the future: implementation of tablets possible
