This weekend i went to the beach with my family. As my cousins and I played voleyball on the sand, i noticed how the volleyball experiences change in velocity, acceleration, and displacement. When a volleyball is served, it goes through a negative acceleration as it moves up at a slowing pace, reaches its peak, and moves down across the net at increasing speed (9.8 m/s squared). This sequence of changes in acceleration and velocity in the ball continues until one team fails to return the ball, at which point the ball bounces, rolls, and slows to a zero velocity.

Ahh, acceleration. Good stuff, Paul. By the way, I was thinking, "Why is the crab named Kody? Kody Adams?"
thats a sexy picture
paul, don't you dare steal my tennis idea....
or else.
ditto steve's comment
What a great example of velocity and acceleration paul! How are your volleyball skills coming along? (=
