Car Challenge - Reference Frames and Scale Units
Is there any better way to learn about the physical concept of frames of reference and scale units than to drive around a fancy red car? We think not. In this interactive simulation, you will experience how cars can change speed, direction, and acceleration. See how speed is measured against a stationary frame of reference. The game ends with a quiz to test your understanding of the concepts explored.
