The Last Samurai:Reflection

One of the theme of this movie is Traditional ways(samurais) vs. modernity(emperor). I wanted to chose this theme because i feel like in this movie this it what it was all about. To me i think that they shouldn't have a war just because they wanted to stay traditional or be more advanced, especially they shouldn't have a war against their own country. It was sad to see people fighting against their own people. I think that they should just keep some of the traditions because traditions are the ones that started the whole thing. And some traditions are really cool. But they should also have some modernity because if they always stay in the past then they will never be advanced. And when other countries try to invade them they would probably die pretty fast. The modern equipment can protect them, so that is why they should be more modernized.
I think this is a great movie because it was educational and there were some action in it so i wasnt bored. Normally when i watch educational movies i tend to fall asleep, but not this one because it is very awesome.

Newton's 3 Laws and Amusement Park

1 example of Kinetic Friction and 1 example of Static Friction

I went on a water ride(the one where you go down the steep thing twice). It is and example of Newtons 1st law, static friction, and kinetic friction. This is an example of Newtons 1st law because in Newtons 1st law it tells us "An object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon an outside force," and when i was going downwards it was going really fast but when it suddenly stop I flew forwards. Which is also known as inertia.
This is an example of static friction because static friction is the friction that prevents a object to set in motion, so you need a greater force to get the object to start moving. When the ride was about to start it started very bumpy and slow and then eventually it moved more smooth, because the friction was preventing the ride to start, but once it was set in motion it started to move more smoothly.
This is also a example of kinetic friction because, kinetic friction is the friction that goes against the motion of a moving object object. So when it was getting to the end of the ride where it was beginning to stop, it didn't stop immediately it stopped very slowly. It was this way because kinetic friction was slowing it down, and eventually brought it to a stop.
