NEWS: Convertible this time!

 Guess what! There was another accident today!








Look at that nice convertible. As dad said: Iss probably some haole turasss.

 It went under the truck! No bumper action there.

This camera has such good zoom.

Ok you car fanatics. What kind of car is this. I know you know.

People got all backed up. This is the H-1 and i'm sorry if you got stuck in this.

Blog 5: Momentum, Katoosh!

This past weekend I went to the UH football game to look for momentum. I realized that whenever there was a colission between two things, there will be momentum. As i was watching, camera ready to capture the blocks and tackles, I saw Steven.

He didn't look at me so i had to go over to his seat to take his picture.

Too bad I didn't get any good tackle pictures. But it's a good thing my uncle is a UH football fanatic and sent me a picture of a really brutal tackle!
In this picture, you can see Meatoga colliding with the opposing line. He and the other Colorado player meet head on but do not move after their collision. Also, the Colorado player seems a bit more massive. What does this mean for momentum? Since momentum is always conserved, their total momentum before has to equal their total momentum after (0). Therefore, the momentum of the Colorado player before equals the momentum of the UH player before. Then, since the Corado player has a greater mass, that means that Meatoga has to have had more velocity than him in order to hold the line!

Blog 4: Work, Working, But Not.

This weekend, UH played LaTech at aloha stadium. Luckily, my cousin's family had an extra ticket so I actually got to do something this weekend besides clean my stupid bathroom... anyway.
I'm glad to say, I didn't have to do any work like that at the game. But sadly, the work that I DIDN'T do at the game turned out to be really tiring too.

As you can see from this very awkward and embarrassing video (lucky you, I decided to put it up), the force I used to carry my cousin was directed upwards while my displacement was horizontal. Therefore, theta was 90 degrees making cos(theta) = 0. Then, since work = F x d cos(theta), I did absolutely no work.
I think that's really sad. My cousin is 10 now and he's getting really heavy (well, 68 lbs maybe, but what can I say; He's a picky eater.) I feel like I should have gotten some recognition from the laws of physics but no. Carrying a 10 yr old kid across a semi-spectator-filled parking lot means nothing! Well, at least my uncle (who was filming) thought it was funny.
