This is a picture of me and my friends jumping from bed to bed at the Hilton. What does physics have to do with any of this? Well, as you can see we all are in different positions vertically and horizontally, yet we left our positions at the same time. [Oh, by the way, the two pink shirts are going one way and the white one is going the other, if you did not get that] Anyways, this is due to the vertical velocity that differs in all of us. My friend who has completely landed had the lowest vertical velocity, making her time in the air the least. Next was me [in the pink shirt and pants]. I guess you could say that I am in the position of the end of the parabolic path that a projectile takes. Then there is my other friend who is still completely in the air, having the highest vertical velocity, resulting in the longest time in the air. I like this picture because it shows the effects of different velocities and because it reminds me how tiring, but fun it was jumping all around. ^.^
