Worksheet for this simulation

Rank these situations based on the magnitude of the acceleration

This simulation shows five different representations, each one corresponding to a different constant-acceleration scenario. Your task is to rank them based on the magnitude of the acceleration, from largest (position 1) to smallest (position 5). After you have figured out the correct ranking, drag the blue/green lettered disks to the correct numbered disk - they should snap into place.

Then, use the button to check your ranking.
