This week we began learning about energy. We learned the different forms of energy which are kinetic, spring, and potential. We also learned about work, which is the exertion of energy. Energy is measured in joules and watts. This is a picture of me and my environmental science class doing the Ka'ena point hike from one side to the other. It was a long and very tiring hike. In the blazing sun we used a lot of energy walking up and down and side to side. We lost energy because of the amount of work our bodies were using. While our bodies were working it was exerting kinetic energy because we were moving the entire time. Potential is when an object is at rest and spring is when an object is pulled back at a certain distance then projects forward. I didn't know that energy was in physics!
This is a good blogpost on how you lose and lost energy. This is really funny because you look like you did nothing haha.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you're having tons of fun! You should have Joe carry you up next time.
ReplyDeleteThe ka'ena point hike is pretty tiring. The amount of "work" that had been done, must've been tremendous.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is cool that you talked about energy with your hiking experience. AWESOME
