The Race Part II










Alright, last week I wrote about a car race at my cousins house on Christmas and all that. Well, there were 8 competitiors and, with my supperior physics knowledge I got second place. The race was on a wheelchair ramp, and the first part was a race down and we had to knock down pins. The next one was a race up, but the car motors were really weak, so almost nobody could fight the force of gravity and accelerate up the ramp. So what most people did was back their car up and get a head start, so that the momentum would carry them as far up the ramp as possible. Momentum also played a role in knocking down the pins, with some ellastic collisions...yeah, remmeber those? What else...my cousins live in Waipahu, and some people were setting off those bigass firworks, the ones that go boom. That is like the sound wave travelling through the air, and it is so loud it feels like it knocks you over, thats because the waves make like fluctuations in the air, so it can startle someone. My mom didn't like those fireworks. Steelers GO(ing to the playoffs?)!
