Momentum

Friday, September 30, 2011 was a fabulous day! Mr. Popoff let us choose between a) having a normal physics class and b) going out to play volleyball. Umm, a very hard decision.Very very hard. We were tired because we had two quizzes that day and some work to do, so we decided to go out and play some volleyball. We were dived in 3 teams of 6 members;however, some people were rotating positions. The game started and bang! The ball was in the air, someone had to hit it before it could strike the ground. Unfortunately, no one didit. So, the team that lost a point started yelling at each other and got really mad. I bet that God didn’t like that. The game continued and this was a very cool moment. Theball crossed the net and the team that was supposed to pass the ball again didn’t have a defense in the point where the ball was about to hit, so Mario and Javier quickly ran tothat place and both at the same time tried to hit the ball. The collision was funny! They both ended up in the floor, hurt and laughing, though they couldn’t make the ball cross tothe other side. It was Elias Jose’s turn to send the ball to the other team and, man! That boy seemed to be very aggressive. Seems like he ate 5 baleadas in the morning! Hisimpulse to the border line was strong and fast and with all of his force he hit the ball and wow! The ball did cross the net, but it also cross the other team’s border line. Uh-uh!Sorry Elias, but you know that the mass of the ball is very light and you exerted a great force to it. That produce the ball to gain a great velocity therefore its momentum wasbig. You should be careful next time. So, the game keep going and going and going until it was time to leave. It was a great time, though we need to learn how to work as a team.
