M4NA Interactive Mechanics Laboratory
Calculate physical quantities, examine interval-by-interval travel, compare numerical patterns, and explore the quantitative relationships presented in the M4NA framework.
Enter the quantities requested in each module and select Calculate. Use the graphs to inspect the numerical results. The calculations are based on the equations displayed in each section. A numerical match does not by itself establish an experimental law.
Part I — Distance and Velocity
Calculate individual quantities and examine accumulated travel.
1Distance Calculator
Enter any two quantities. Leave the quantity to be calculated blank. Values must be non-negative.
2Average Velocity
Calculate average velocity from total distance and total elapsed time, or calculate a missing quantity.
Part II — Interval Travel and Patterns
Enter a sequence of velocities and durations, then inspect its total and pattern.
3Interval Travel & Pattern Analysis
Each row represents one time interval. The interval distance is calculated from that row's velocity and duration. Total distance is the sum of the interval distances.
| Interval | Force value fᵢ | Velocity vᵢ (m/s) | Duration tᵢ (s) | Distance sᵢ (m) | Force quantity Fᵢ | Action |
|---|

6Force–Velocity Pattern Analysis
Lock one proportionality constant k for the whole operation. Choose either force values fᵢ or velocity values vᵢ as the sole pattern input; the other pattern is calculated from the same k.
Static Observer vs Moving Observer
Examine one train-and-ball operation from two observation positions. The moving observer measures the ball's travel relative to the train. The static observer measures the train's travel and the ball's travel relative to the ground. Both calculations use the same specified time interval.
1. Set the operating conditions
2. Moving Observer
The observer travels with the train and measures the ball relative to the train.
s = 5 × 4 = 20 m
3. Static Observer
The observer remains on the ground and measures the train and ball relative to the ground.
20 + 5 = 25 m/s
Ground travel = |ground velocity| × time
25 × 4 = 100 m
4. Direct Comparison of the Two Observations
This comparison makes the reference position explicit. The ball's relative travel and ground travel are different measurements when the train itself is moving.
| Quantity | Moving observer (train reference) | Static observer (ground reference) |
|---|---|---|
| Reference position | Train | Ground |
| Ball velocity used | 5 m/s forward | 25 m/s forward |
| Ball travelling distance | 20 m | 100 m |
| Train travelling distance | Not measured as movement relative to itself | 80 m |
| Operating time | 4 s | 4 s |
5. Compare the Travelling Distances
The bars compare train travel, ball travel relative to the train, and ball travel relative to the ground. These quantities use different reference positions.
6. Compare Positions Over Time
The graph shows the train's ground position, the ball's ground position, and the ball's position relative to the train throughout the selected interval.
7. M4NA Interpretation
The moving observer and static observer measure relative travel from different reference positions.
Static observer: train travel = train velocity × time; ball ground velocity is obtained by combining train velocity with the signed ball velocity relative to the train. Ball ground travel = magnitude of ground velocity × time.

6. Interpretation
The table reports the calculations according to the selected mode and the displayed relationships; the numerical results are not hidden behind a single overall score.
Static Observer vs Moving Observer
Examine one train-and-ball operation from two observation positions. The moving observer measures the ball's travel relative to the train. The static observer measures the train's travel and the ball's travel relative to the ground. Both calculations use the same specified time interval.
1. Set the operating conditions
2. Moving Observer
The observer travels with the train and measures the ball relative to the train.
s = 5 × 4 = 20 m
3. Static Observer
The observer remains on the ground and measures the train and ball relative to the ground.
20 + 5 = 25 m/s
Ground travel: |ground velocity| × time
25 × 4 = 100 m
4. Compare the travelling distances
The bars compare the distances measured in the two observation positions. They represent different reference positions, not two measurements of the same relative distance.
5. Compare positions over time
The graph shows the train's ground position and the ball's ground position during the selected operating interval. The ball's position inside the train is also shown as a separate reference-relative quantity.
6. M4NA interpretation
The moving observer and the static observer measure different relative travelling distances because they use different reference positions.
Static observer:train travel = train velocity × time; ball ground velocity is obtained by combining the train velocity with the ball's signed relative velocity. The ball's ground travel is the magnitude of its ground velocity multiplied by time.

Compare Two Mechanics Frameworks
Panel 10 — Newtonian vs M4NA
Interactive comparison of force, velocity, travelling distance, interval values and accumulated quantities.
1. Select a pattern and calculation mode
Velocity-first mode: the entered values are the target velocities at the end of the six intervals. Newtonian force is calculated from the velocity change; M4NA force value is calculated from f = kv.
2. Results at a glance
Newtonian Mechanics
F = ma
Newtonian interval distances use constant acceleration within each interval: s = (u + v)t / 2.
M4NA Framework
fᵢ = kvᵢ
F = Σfᵢtᵢ
M4NA force quantities are displayed according to the M4NA definitions. They are not labelled as Newtonian force impulse.
3. Interval-by-interval comparison
Newtonian force values are calculated from the velocity change over each interval. M4NA force values are calculated from the M4NA force–velocity relationship.
| Interval | Time (s) | Newton velocity (m/s) | Newton force (N) | Newton distance (m) | M4NA velocity (m/s) | M4NA force value | M4NA distance (m) | M4NA Fᵢ |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

4. M4NA identity tests
The tests check arithmetic consistency using the selected k, interval values and calculated quantities. They are not, by themselves, experimental verification of a physical theory.
5. Velocity-pattern graph
Both series use the selected target velocity pattern. The graph makes the shared velocity values visible; force and distance results are calculated separately using each framework's equations.
6. Cumulative travelling-distance graph
7. How to interpret the comparison
In the uniform-velocity example, the Newtonian velocity change is zero, so its calculated resultant force is zero. M4NA gives a nonzero force value for nonzero velocity when k is nonzero. The frameworks' force quantities have different definitions; they should not be treated as identical physical units.

Velocity and Average Velocity: Two Methods of Calculation
Initial condition: Both examples begin with an initial velocity of 0 m/s. This is the velocity at the starting instant; it does not mean that the object remains motionless throughout the first second.
Input A — Endpoint velocity values
Enter the conventional instantaneous velocity at the end of each interval. These values are also used as the M4NA interval velocity values.
For the conventional calculation, the velocity is assumed to change uniformly within each interval. The initial velocity is 0 m/s.
Input B — Interval durations
Enter the duration of each successive interval.
Calculation 1 — Conventional Framework
For each interval, assuming uniform change of velocity:
sᵢ = (initial interval velocity + final interval velocity) × tᵢ / 2
| Quantity | Interval 1 | Interval 2 | Interval 3 | Total |
|---|
The arithmetic mean above is the unweighted mean of the three endpoint velocity values. It is not automatically equal to the conventional average velocity calculated from total travelling distance and time.
Calculation 2 — M4NA Framework
M4NA treats each entered velocity value as the velocity associated with the actual travelling distance during that interval.
sᵢ = vᵢtᵢ
Total travelling distance
S = s₁ + s₂ + s₃
Average velocity
V = S / T
| Quantity | Interval 1 | Interval 2 | Interval 3 | Total |
|---|
Under the M4NA interpretation used here, velocity, average velocity, and instantaneous velocity are assigned the same numerical value for each specified interval. This is M4NA terminology, not the conventional definition of instantaneous velocity.
Results — Identify the Mismatches
| Comparison | Calculated result |
|---|
Calculation assumptions: all listed velocities are nonnegative and the object travels in one direction. Conventional interval distances are calculated by assuming uniform velocity change from the initial velocity of 0 m/s to the first endpoint velocity, then between successive endpoint velocities. M4NA interval distances are calculated directly from the entered interval velocity values and durations.
Velocity, Travelling Distance & Applied Force
Examine the interval-by-interval calculations and overall results of conventional Newtonian mechanics and the M4NA classical mechanics framework.
1. Operation Inputs
Enter the three interval velocity values and durations. The same inputs are used to display both frameworks, but each framework applies its own stated calculation rules.
Velocity values and interval durations
Force calculation parameters
2. Conventional Newtonian Mechanics
sᵢ = (uᵢ + vᵢ)tᵢ / 2
aᵢ = (vᵢ − uᵢ) / tᵢ and fᵢ = maᵢ
V = total travelling distance / total time
For this example, the initial instantaneous velocity is 0 m/s at the starting instant t = 0. It is not treated as the velocity maintained throughout the first interval. Each interval is calculated using its starting and ending instantaneous velocities, assuming uniform acceleration within that interval.
| Interval | Start v (m/s) | End v (m/s) | Time (s) | Distance (m) | Acceleration (m/s²) | Applied force value (N) |
|---|
3. M4NA Classical Mechanics
sᵢ = vᵢtᵢ
fᵢ = kvᵢ
Fᵢ = ksᵢ and F = kS
S = Σsᵢ | T = Σtᵢ | V = S/T | F/T = kV
In this M4NA example, the entered velocity value for each interval is used to calculate the travelling distance during that interval. The same locked value of k is used throughout the operation.
| Interval | Velocity vᵢ (m/s) | Time tᵢ (s) | Distance sᵢ (m) | Force value fᵢ = kvᵢ | Force quantity Fᵢ = ksᵢ |
|---|
4. Side-by-Side Results
| Quantity | Newtonian mechanics | M4NA framework |

| Interval travelling distance | 1 m, 3 m, 5 m | 2 m, 4 m, 6 m |
| Total travelling distance | 9 m | 12 m |
