Oh Kanoe...

This past week in Physics class, we completed the Physics Olympics lab. From this lab, we learned about position, time and its relationship. The slope of a graph of position and time shows velocity. The connection that this picture has to the past week of class is that the field that my friends and I are on is also the field that we had the Physics Olympics on. More importantly, is the examination of my friend Kanoe here. She is the one lying in the center. As all of us friends walked up the stairs from lunch, our velocity decreased because the distance covered was done so in a longer time. When we walked on flat surfaces, it increased from the velocity while walking up the stairs but stayed constant until we reached another flight of stairs because the movement was constant. As you can see, all but Kanoe were able to make the trek with smiling faces.

  1. I would probably be Kanoe in this situation. Overall, objects travel faster when going down rather than going up because earth's gravity is a downward pull.
