Physics in life

This is a picture of someone playing a guitar. I chose this picture because it shows how vibrations of string can produce sound. Depending on how fast or slow the guitarist strums and where he decides to press his fingers on the frets, he is able to control the tempo and musical notes of the guitar. This picture also shows how a strum is much like a period of a pendulum. When the guitarist plays short periods, he plays a faster tempo, and vice versa; if the guitarist plays a slower period, he plays a slower tempo. Also, this picture can relate to myself because I enjoy playing guitar too.

This is a picture of a golfer swinging their club. This relates to our physics unit because the golfer has to accelerate the club and hit the golf ball. Much like the pendulum, the golf club and the golfer's hands represent the string of the pendulum. If the golfer wants to hit the ball with less force, his period or backswing is shorter. If the golfer wants to hit the ball with more force, his period or backswing will be longer. This picture can represent how wind can affect the flight of the ball. Much like the string and weight of the pendulum, after the golf ball is hit, the wind may affect the flight of the ball.

Letter of Introduction:

My name is Joseph Yokoi. I’m Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and Portuguese. I’m finally a senior at Kamehameha, and I’m proud to say that I enjoyed being at Kamehameha for 12 years. I’ve played for the Kamehameha Baseball since 7^th and hopefully we’ll end this year’s baseball season with a bang.

Science has been one of my favored classes mainly because of the neat labs we’ve done in Biology and Chemistry. As for physics, I’m looking forward to learning are the “how’s and why’s” about everyday life. How does gravity affect the bounce on a ball? Why does heat rise up and not down? I’m excited to learn about the reasons why things happen.

Math has been another favored class of mine, and currently I’m in Pre-Calculus.

This is a picture of a Yosemite Climber. This picture represents me as a person because I’m determined and daring.
