Wonderful World of Waves

Journal 15: Over this crazy weekend, there was so much physics around me ranging from the mechanics of the rides during the fair, to the application of Newton's third law with the bounce houses, and even the correct use of physics with kinematics to the baseball and football game.  However, I will be focusing on my experience with the concept of waves.  During this awesome break, during the fair, when it was my 5 hour shift as a food runner, one of the calls called for two tubs of kalbi.  These tubs contained the meat and the marinade sauce and were extremely heavy.  Upon driving the carts, I had to go back and adjust the boxes, then I saw the juice sloshing back and forth and the rising of the kalbi created a wave opposite to that of the moving juice.  While the marinade as far as I could tell probably was not moving at its natural frequency the two waves made by the kalbi and the cart created super crests in the tub.  The sloshing of the sauce showed the waves to be transverse waves and not of the same frequency or amplitude since the waves were of different amplitude.  Then the waves would pass through one another hit the sides of the tub and then go back until they settled.  However, the jerkish movements of the carts, the constant stop-and-go, and the bumps would reinitiate the same cycle as the juice would naturally slosh and then the kalbi would rise and make opposing waves. Hope you guys enjoyed the fair I had a lot of food: 3 Waiola Shave Ices, 3 Smoothies, 1 Huli Beef Sandwhich, 1 Pizza, I Korean Mixed Plate, 6 Malasadas, 2 Teri-Cheese Burgers, and lots of Water.  Yeah fatty, but then I ran a lot and walked a lot and now I should work out.  Bye!
