Aloha Spirit
Hey folks! haven't talked to you all in awhile. we had no homework weekend last week so i didnt want to overachieve and write a blog anyways, sorry. We are learning about the magnetic field and this weird Right Hand Rule thats sooo confusing. instead of confusing myself more, I'm just going to talk about what I know best. by the way, 14 weeks til i graduate, so thats only probably less than ten blogs :( what are you gonna do without me? So here, we have a picture of my flyer, demi who is doing a scorpion. This takes a lot of skill, more than I thought after learning of all the physics involved. The bases, me and Renee, act as a "flexible" platform for Demi. Flexible in that we adjust our grips so that she doesnt lose her balance. Demi's body is demonstrating torque. To review, torque is equal to the distance from axis to force multiplied by the force applied to the object. The axis is Demi's waist. And demi holds her leg with her arms in order for her weight (mass x gravity) to be vertically down. And we, the bases, try our hardest to keep the normal force vertically up.
Dont try this at home :)
