This weekend, I started to train for my event for physical education. My main goal is to finish in any place except for last place. Each day, I jogged for ten minutes around my neighborhood, which consists of a set of apartments assembled in a loop. Jogging is a definite example of kinematics. When time increased, my distance increased. Since the loop is not on a flat surface, my velocity decreased whenever I had to travel up the parts that were steep. Since gravity pulls objects downward, jogging down the loop led to an increase of velocity. However, my final displacement was 0 units of length because I ended up at my origin, which in this case was my home.
Hey Amber,
ReplyDeleteThis is a great application of physics. Train hard for the event and you'll do good. Awesome job!

That is a great connection to kinematics Amber! Even though PE is one of my least favorite classes, this was a great way to relate physics and PE especially using velocity, speed and displacement. I too am not excited to train for the event but in needs to be done and you'll d great!!
