darts

I was at a party this weekend and while me and my friends were playing darts I realized it had something to do with physics. It's the same concept I talked about last week, just applied to a different event. By throwing it, the dart gains velocity going from 0m/s to a velocity in a negative direction (left, according to the picture). This would also be considered acceleration because there is a change in velocity even though there isn't much of a change regarding direction. Because the distance between the board and the person is too close, the final velocity of the dart right when it hits the board is not 0m/s . However, it is positive acceleration because the dart's speed is slowing down over time and it is going in the negative direction.
