Train
Even before going to class it is easy to observe physics in daily life. Below is a picture of a train beginning to slow down as it is approaching the station. It is known that the train begins to pick up velocity until it reaches a constant velocity during the route, as it approaches the station, the train hits the breaks and begins to decrease until it reaches a full on stop. If a projectile motion where to be written, it would show first very small dots beginning to separate from each other, then being distant from each other at a pace, then once again coming close to each other. This would show the increase in speed, then the constant speed it held, then the decrease in speed as it came to a stop.

Great examples here. Your physics is on-point!
