Constant Velocity Motion Explorer
A ball moves in a straight line with constant velocity. Adjust the sliders to see how
time
,
displacement
, and
velocity
are related.
1. Set up the motion
Initial position x₀ (m)
0
m
Constant velocity v (m/s)

m/s
Time t (s)

Displacement:
x(t) = x₀ + v t
With your values:
Current displacement:

2. See graphs of the motion

Velocity vs Time v(t)

The
slope
of the displacement–time line is the constant velocity v.
If you double the time, you double the displacement — because x ∝ t.
The velocity–time graph is a horizontal line; the v = 0 axis is centred so positive and negative velocities are clear.
