Everyday situations help us understand how things speed up or slow down. Here are a couple of examples:

1. Driving a Car:

   • When a driver makes the car go faster, that’s called acceleration. For instance, a car can go from being still to 100 km/h in about 6 seconds.
   • On the other hand, when a driver slows down, it’s called deceleration. For example, a car can go from 100 km/h to a complete stop in about 4 seconds if the driver needs to brake quickly.

2. Bicycling:

   • When a cyclist pedals harder, that means they are accelerating. They can speed up at about 1.5 m/s².
   • When they need to slow down, they can brake, which helps them decelerate at similar speeds. This helps them stop when needed.

Knowing how acceleration and deceleration work in these everyday activities helps us understand how things move in the real world.
