Work It

Photobucket as a young chld i enjoyed the fine arts of clay man ship. Little did i know that i was exhibiting physics. As i lift my beautiful sculpture of the dog in the picture i am exhibiting work. Work is defined as the quantity of force times distance. But as i hold it the piece in place i am not exhibiting work anymore because there is no change in force or distance on the art piece. Boy physics is alot of work

Momentum

PhotobucketMomentum is the measure of an objects mass times velocity as you can see here is my band playing at kamehahmeha surf sample fundraiser. As i am hitting my drums it shows that physics can be found everywhere. The momentum of my drumstick is its weight times the velocity that i am hitting the drum with it. The cool thing that i learned in physics class is that before i even collide my stick with the drum it has the same momentum before and after. Crazy stuff huh just another day in my life where i experience physics!
