Iolani Boys Waterpolo =]

               On Friday September 19, 2008, the Iolani Boys Division 1 varsity team had a game at iolani. To the left is a really bad picture of the game. Within the game, there were a number of physics related things. For example, when the ball is thrown, it goes through the motion of a projectile at a certain velocity. When the ball is shot by the opposing team and blocked by our awesome goalie Austin Strong, the ball and Austin go produce a bouncy collision. A bouncy collision also occurs when a player is field blocking and blocks someone's pass or shot. Waterpolo also involves swimming, which means Newtons third law is demonstrated when they pull, kick and egg-beater. For egg-beating, the more you push, the higher you go up. For example, when someone wants to shoot, you wanna get as high out of the water as possible by egg-beating your legs faster and harder. This game ended with another victory =] Awesome Job guys!!!

Homecoming 08'

This past friday was HOMECOMING WEEK!!! And we finally WON!!! YAY! After the game ended I went with my friend Steph and Cherise to senior benches to hang out and kill time. It was way too crowded to go to the Ho'olaulea so we decided to just stay at senior benches. Of course Steph wanted to take oodles of pictures, and that's exactly what we did. While i was looking at the pictures, i realized there's physics everywhere! Because we are standing on the bench, in regards to the ground, we all have potential energy. If we were to jump off of the bench (which we did after taking the picture) the potential energy would gradually change into kinetic energy. Also, in regards to the bench, there are two forces acting upon us, mg and a normal force.

Homecoming was awesome and i cant wait till next years' one!

GO JUNIORS!!!! 2010!!!!! =P!
