Physics in Marching?



This weekend I had to march in the Aloha Week Parade. It wasn't too fun. First, I had to wake up at 5:00AM. That proves Newton's first law, an object at rest wants to remain at rest...but seriously. When we got to Ala Moana beach park we slowly made our way down the street. Our average velocity must have been close to 1 mph. That is when I found out my camera had no battery, so I'd have to draw my own pictures for this blog. Anyways, our parade route was about 2.5 miles, and plus the wait was about 3.3 miles. So if it took from 8:00-2:00, then the average velocity was 0.5 mph. Also, when I was marching, my feet got really hot, in part because of the friction made by my shoes. From Ala Moana to Kapiolani, the displacement is 2.75 miles, that has to do with physics, right? And since everyone seems to be doing it, and my camera was broken, I drew a pic in paint. check it. go Steelers!

Phirst Fysics Post

First impression of AP Physics: cruise. After the first week: I hate my life. But seriously, Physics is quite difficult for me, even though I find most of the material interesting. The hard thing about it is that we hardly go over any work in class, which leaves me clueless when I try to do homework or labs or whatever. I like the labs, but I can't wait for fun labs, if we have any...I'm anxious about pretty much everything. Whenever I get home and do Physics homework, and I don't get it I get angry. Like The Hulk kind angry, but good thing I have friends who can explain it. Maybe after football season i will have more time to commit to homework. My picture is one of my favorite pics. That expression is what I feel like, a deer in the headlights, scared, speechless... like"What's going on?"

Go Steelers!
