Kinematics



The average American spends 21 hours a week driving in the car making that about 1,095 hours in an entire year. Velocity or speed is everywhere. It helps us travel to different places whether it is walking, jogging, running, or driving in a car. In physics, there are different formulas to measure and determine the trajectory of an object. In this picture my dog, KJ, demonstrates this. As he holds a yellow bucket in his mouth he increases from rest, to a slight jog, then to a vigorous run across the yard. At rest his speed and acceleration is zero and when as he increases his velocity to a slight jog and run, so does his acceleration.
