An interactive, educational sandbox for kids to explore linear, circular, and periodic motion. Measure distances on-screen in real-time. This free online tool allows you to simulate motion measurement quickly and accurately. No sign-up or installation required.
Linear motion is when an object moves in a straight line, like a car driving on a straight road.
Circular motion happens when an object moves in a circle around a central point, like a merry-go-round.
Periodic motion is movement that repeats itself over and over again in a regular cycle, like a swinging pendulum.
You can drag the yellow measuring tape across the grid to measure the distance objects travel.
