Blog #2


I was bored on sunday, forgetting to bring my camera with me on saturday when i played pac 5 and slept over my friends house. Looking through old pictures of me, i came across a picture of me in iolani inter. football and i remembered that i had to do a blog!!! In the picture, i am in the air, accelarating at -9.8 m/s2. That is the constant rate of accelaration in freefall. I also caught the ball in this picture, which has a lot to do with trajectory and what we are learning now. Wow, i didn't look that bad in 9th grade =)

Blog #1







Although it was a busy weekend, driving from one place to another non stop and always having something to do, I wondered, How am I going to finish my blog? I can't find any thing related to physics. Then it hit me. I WAS DRIVING ALL WEEKEND!!!! Hey thats physics!!! Over 120 miles of physics at that. I had my friend help me snap some pictures from my point of view because of that ridiculous law that doesn't let us use cell phones. Anyways, we're studying kinematics why not do a blog on it. The first picture shows me stopped at a light, with my accelaration at zero, velocity at zero, and displacement at zero. After all, im not moving. The next pic shows me trying to get on the freeway. As a speed up, my accelaration increases, as my velocity increases at a steady pace and my displacement increases. And finally, in the third pic, shows me taking the kinau offramp. As I slow down, My accelaration decreases, my velocity decreases at a steady rate, and my displacement continues to increases slowly now. Sorry, there was no negative displacement this weekend. Fun weekend, and i discovored some physics that was right in front of my face
