Labor Day Weekend


This year, my birthday occurred last week Wednesday. As a result, Labor Day Weekend was basically a sequel to the festivities. During that Sunday, I spent more than two hours at Waikiki Beach. I am aware that Waikiki is definitely tourist central but the beach was relatively mellow that day. Of course, if it was spring break right now, I would not be saying the same thing. While I was swimming in the ocean, my movements involved the principles of kinematics. Whenever I changed directions, my acceleration and velocity also changed. At times, my acceleration was negative because I would go past my original position. As time passed, my distance would increase as I swam. However, I often spent minutes at a time in a particular part of the ocean, which means that I did not move constantly. Although the force of the waves did affect my velocity, the general factors of kinematics were still relevant.
