Blog 3 - Kinematics

Kinematics can be defined as the motion of objects without reference to the forces that cause it. That being said, I have chosen to explain how Kinematics is present in paddling. Paddling involves a continuous, repetitive set of movements that involves mainly the arms, back and hips. As these movements are repeated from a stop, the canoe will accelerate until it has reached a constant speed. This can be calculated by putting velocity (how fast something is moving in a direction) over a period of time. If the canoe were going at a constant pace, the speed could be calculated by the equation v = d/t. For example, if the canoe traveled a distance of 20 meters in 2 seconds, you would find that the canoe was traveling at an average speed of 10m/s.

One thing that relates to physics is this tower fan. This fan works to produce wind. Depending on the mode (1, 2 or 3), it will produce a different amount of wind. These two variables are directly related. The higher the mode, the more wind it will produce. You could also say that the more wind it produces, then the better the circulation is in the room. In the case of comparing the mode and amount of wind, the mode is the independent variable and the wind is the dependent variable. When comparing the amount of wind and the circulation quality, then the circulation quality becomes dependent on the amount of wind.

Blog 1 - Intro

My name is Jezus Santos and I've been attending Kamehameha since 7th grade. I used to live in Nuuanu, but now I live in both Salt Lake and Ward. I remember taking Earth Science in 8th grade, BSCS Bio in 9th, and Chemistry in 10th. I find science a bit frustrating as I'm usually lost, but in the end I find myself getting through assignments/labs etc. I'm currently in Pre-Cal for math. I hope to obtain a greater knowledge on science, and hopefully science won't be such a hard subject for me anymore. It would also be nice to have a good grade. This picture of me was taken after me, my friends and uncles went diving at Chinaman's hat. I'm not that good, but I got lucky that day and caught some tako.This picture just represents how I enjoy the ocean and spending time with friends and family.
