17th Birthday Party!

Today I had my 17th birthday party. We had a slip and slide and i thought that it was alllllll physics! the pictures are backwards but you can see as my friend, kira sasaki gains speed by running then launches herself onto the slip and slide. And due to the slippery surface of the plastic slip and slide, it's a "frictionless" surface. That's why in the picture on the top, she runs into her sister, Alyssa and stops due to the friction from the grass and from the collision with her sister. 

City Lights =)

In December, i went to City hall with two of my best friends, Marissa Yamamoto, who is currently attending the University of California in Davis and Steph Chun. of course during christmas time, there are christmas lights EVERYWHERE. In this picture there are mini ones on the trunk of the trees and giant ones hanging on the trees. If you look closely, you can see electric fields surrounded the lights. Not only do christmas lights have this electric field, all lights have it as well. There are also electric currents on other objects where we cant see them.

Iolani Classified Swim Meet

Every July, the Iolani Swim Club hosts a classified meet. The purpose of this meet is to provide swimmers of all levels a chance to make their times. 

This is a picture of me, sandy chun, kelsie kodama and alyssa sasaki stopping to take a picture near the parking structure. 

Although we haven't studied this yet, I am assuming that there is physics in this picture, and the physics in this is mirrors or reflection. 

I look forward to learning more about this in the future.
