Killing Time JV Blue Style

This past week, we continued to learn about kinematics. On Thursday, our volleyball team had a game versus HBA at HBA. When the game was over, the bus wasn't there yet and after a while, we began to get antsy. Luckily, my friend and our manager Aryn had brought his camera. This is some of what we did to pass the time. In class, Mr. Blake did a demonstration to help us understand velocity and its path by throwing a mass into the air then catching it. The pattern of an objects velocity is slow --> fast --> stop --> slow --> fast. In the picture on the left, I was able to capture my teammates Tiyana, Kea and Mahea in this process. I am not sure what stage of velocity they are in, however, the pattern as they jumped was slow --> fast --> stop --> slow --> fast because of gravity. The same goes for the picture on the right. Though each girl is in a different stage of velocity of the jump, each will undergo the same slow --> fast --> stop --> slow --> fast pattern.

  1. Hi Allie,
    I too did a jumping photo with the pattern of velocity! Great choice, I guess two minds do think alike... bwahahaha :)

  2. Good job identifying one of Mr. Blake's demonstration through your volleyball team! I did my post about jumps too! haha
