First of all, I really wanted to use an example of one of my family members jumping off a diving board into a swimming pool at a birthday party on Sunday, but one of my cousins accidently threw up in the pool so the lifeguards had to SHUT it DOWN! Everyone was sad and mad that we couldn't swim anymore. Especially since me and my sister had just gotten there. :( Even one of the little boys at the birthday party said, "Now we have to go somewhere else to party!" That is what we did. Our family went to the beach instead of the pool. When we got home from the beach party, I realized that I still did not have an example for my blog. So I asked my younger sister if she wanted to help me and she agreed. Instead of posting a great example of Physics, I have a decent example of my sister jumping off the couch. Although this is not an amazing picture or video of a dive into a swimming pool, it is important to me because I had the opportunity to share the concept of projectile motion I learned in school with my sister. I explained to her that projectile motion is the movement of an object that is determined by an object's initial velocity and the constant acceleration of gravity. However, I had to simplify my answer to make her understand the concept better. What I really said was: "It is an object that begins to move at a certain speed then falls to the ground due to the force of gravity."
I hope whoever watches this enjoys!
Please don't mind my cousin in the background; I didn't notice he was there
until after I uploaded the video.
