Average Speed

Back in the day cars like these weren't that fast. All they were used for was from getting from point A to point B. But I'd like to use this car as an example of kinematics for this chapter. This car was built as a standard car. If you didn't know standard cars need to reach a certain speed before changing gears and reaching top speed. Thus meaning that standard cars stay at the same speed for a longer period of time depending of driving conditions Since learning the new equation distance equals average velocity times the time, I realized that you can't just take the speeds average but you need to take in consideration how long the car was traveling at that speed. This is because the times spent at certain speeds plays a vital role in the average velocity of the car during its travel. Using this equation, I think that this is how scientists and engineers invented automatic cars to reach higher speeds in a faster time.
