Blogpost #7

Remember my roommate, Kanoe, from last week's blogpost? Well she decided to be such a great person and be in this week's picture as well. She randomly decided that she was going to throw an orange up and down and walk across the room for no apparent reason. Every time she tossed the orange up, she was able to catch it even though she was walking. She was able to do this because in the section we're dealing with now, 2-D Kinematics, an important rule is that axes are independent. So, what happens on the x axis stays on the x, and what happens on the y axis stays on the y. Kanoe's horizontal (x) path was constant, while the orange was going fast, slow, stop, slow, fast in the air (y). Therefore, Kanoe was able to continually catch the orange because of the aforementioned rule that axes are independent.
