Blog 2: Oops I Forgot

Yesterday I went outside to enjoy the day when an object crossed my view.  I returned a tennis ball that my five-year-old neighbor accidentally threw into my yard.  I needed to throw it over a 3.0m fence, but I wanted to throw it so that it barely cleared the fence.  I was standing .50m away from the fence and threw overhanded, releasing the ball at a height of 1.0m.  This created a parabolic shape since the acceleration is -9.8 m/s/s.  The vertical velocity stays constant despite gravity.

However, I forgot the extensiveness of my strength and accidentally launched the ball 2000m away into the neighborhood park.  I told my neighbor to go get it, but when her father started laughing and telling her to hurry up I felt bad.  I reluctantly pulled my neighbor behind me as she desperately tried to escape my grasp.  Once I got to the park I heard my name and I looked around.  I saw my friend Lawrence in a tree.
