Forces that Accelerate




I was sitting at Sandy Beach also known as “Sandys” and I realized that the blow hole was really blowing hard. So I grabbed my camera and took a sequence of pictures with it. I got pictures of when it began to blow, when it was in mid air still moving up and when all of the water was floating. This is related to physics because when the water first shot out of the hole, it was accelerating which meant that the velocity was increasing because of the pressure in the hole. As soon as all of the water left the hole it continued to move upward but it wasn’t accelerating because there was no force acting upon it. After a few seconds in mid air it began to fall because gravity downward was greater than the acceleration upward.
