This weekend, I spent a lot of time with my family at Waimanalo beach. There's always been a swing off to the side underneath a big tree. My sister and I always loved to swing on that certain swing. This weekend was the first time that my cousin Kili tried that same swing. It took a bit of convincing but she got on it anyway. As she was swinging back and forth, I remembered the pendulum lab that we had just done in class. I then realized that swinging on the swing is similar to swinging a weight on a pendulum. When Kili took a running start to swing with some force, the swing swung faster back and forth. When she just sat on the swing and had someone push her, she swung slower back and forth.
I saw this example on another person's blog! Haha, I think that next time i see a swing, I will probably also think of the pendulum lab...swinging back and forth, and back and forth...
ReplyDeleteI like the composition of your pictures--especially the way you followed the two-thirds rule we learned back in photography last year. It's cool how you related the swing back to the pendulum lab.
