This semester in physics i took in a lot of information. From jumping off of cliffs of death to getting songs yelled in my face. Its been a pretty good year so far. One of the main things i remember was force. One of the examples used was about boxing. In the example, we saw that you have more power when you punch through an object the you have when you punch at an object. While i was boxing at palolo gym, my coach always told me the same thing. He would always punch through the man dont stop at contact. Now i see why and it was pretty cool to learn why he always told me that in an educational way. In this picture above you can see me and my brother. We are just play fighting as you can see but it always reminds about that lesson. Though sometimes i would like to punch him trough his face hahah i wont tho. Maybe i would just stop at his face since it wont hurt as much. Another thing that i learned this semester is that the laws of physics can be broken! During the egg lab, Mr. Blake said that if i threw the egg at the sheet no matter how hard, it would not break. But!!! when i threw the egg it did indeed break on the sheet. He claims that i broke the egg in my hand even though there was no yoke on my hand just on the sheet. So i will keep it as i broke the laws of physics.
This week we learned about he different types of energy. This picture is an example of Potential energy. Potential energy can be potential gravity or potential spring. This image shows potential gravity . While above the pool the gravity is pulling me toward the water. there is also potential spring form the diving board. The tight spring shot me high above the pool!
