Physics Blog 2 "No Break From School"

When I start talking outside of class about a topic that was discussed in class, it has officially become ingrained in my mind. Last Thursday, my friend and I were walking back to school after going to pick up lunch. Amazingly we started talking about physics and how we had to write blogs for class. :D While we continued to talk, I was watching the cars on the road speeding by. As the cars sped by, I could hear their engines, which interestingly reminded me about acceleration. The cars passing us by all had different accelerations. I noticed that some cars moved forward faster than others and the gap between the slow cars and the fast cars became bigger and bigger. The cars that created the big gaps between themselves and the slower cars had larger accelerations, while the cars that were left behind had smaller accelerations. If the acceleration of the faster cars were represented by a graph, it would look like a constant positive horizontal line. Although it would be hard for a driver to accelerate at a constant rate, the cars that passed us on the road seemed to have a constant acceleration.
