The Last

My last cheerleading competition was this past weekend..so emotional. The last of everything is coming and its really sad. The last physics test is coming up, ohh my gaawwwd! My LAST chance to ace a test, i dont know if I can do it, I have no confidence in myself. I'll let you know how it goes though. Ok, last blog about weight (mass x gravity) and the normal force. I'm sorry, its the only concept of physics that I understand. So basically me and satoe (in the middle) are creating a normal force on demi (flyer) with our hands in order to keep her balanced. And as you can see on the outside Tori and Ashley are demonstrating torque as their straight bodies slow their rotation and also the force of gravity which pulls them back down. You could think of it like Ashley and Tori having a KE of zero at the beginning of the stunt and a potential energy equivalent to how much "energy" the bases put into the stunt which then converts to Tori and Ashley's Kinetic energy.
