Unit 2 again

Angry birds is a good representation of acceleration. When you shoot the bird, it accelerates toward the target. When it hits the target, then it accelerates to a slower speed and then to a stop. The flight of an angry bird could be measured by a d vs t graph. It takes so many seconds for the bird to reach a certain distance. By creating that graph, you could find the velocity. You could also use a velocity vs time graph. This would be a way to measure the displacement of the bird. As you can see, physics is very applicable to many aspects, important or unimportant, to life.
