Average Speed

On Friday, the Kamehameha Varsity football team challenged the Radford Rams and obtained a much needed win. The spartan Tyler Meditz played a terrific game and had tremendous runs. After looking at the game stats the next day I seen that he averaged 10.2 yards a carry. Then I realized that this was a perfect application of what we learned in physics the day before. Knowing that Meditz is a beast I knew that he had big runs but didn't have 10.2 yards every carry. Some carries he was hit in the backfield or had no gain, while others he was able to stay with the push and reach third level, even score a 80 yard touchdown. This combined yardage equaled the 10.2 yard average. I am starting to realize how applicable physics is in my everyday life.

Relationships

 

For our homework assignment we needed to take a picture of an item or thing that we found that has a form of relationship within itself. For my assignment I chose my ceiling fan. I chose a ceiling fan because there are two forms of relationships. The first relationship is that the faster the fan spins, the more air is released. So the relationship is between fan speed and air release. The second relationship is that the longer the fan blades are, the bigger the area of air release. Meaning that when the fan is on and spinning, if the blades are longer, the area of air release increases. The relationship is between the fan blade length and the area of air release.

Introduction

 Hello my name is Chevy Fonseca and this is my first post on my new blog for physics. I am a Senior and have been attending this school since fourth grade. I am very appreciative for our founder Aunty Bernice and I try to make her proud everyday. I live in Kapolei but was born in Kealakekua on the Big Island. I enjoy to play football and do track & field. My progress in science so far has been biology my freshman year, chemistry my sophomore year, environmental science this past summer, and now physics. I wasn't sure if I was even going to take physics knowing that environmental science counted as a graduation science credit but I know that having four years of science in high school really helps you get into college. Some colleges that I'm interested in are the Air Force Academy, Pacific, and Portland State University. The current math courses I am in is college algebra and trigonometry. What I hope to gain as a result of completing this course is to be able to understand basic physics concepts and be able to apply it to my everyday life. Also to learn how much science is related to me all throughout my life. Lastly this picture is a good example of my personality. At times I can be serious and concentrated, but when I'm not I like to have fun and have a good time. Some people call me a clown, others a retard. Haters gonna hate but I don't let that stop me from being myself. Peace!
