Ramona and Beezus

This movie is about a girl, who is Ramona. She is a notorious girl who loves to imagine. She always had a fight with her sister, Beezus. I am not going to tell about the plot of this movie, but physics concept in this movie. I know many readers will wonder what are the physics concept in this movie.

If you ever watch this movie, can you remember a scene when Ramona pulls the luggage? You can observe that she had difficulties to pull the luggage. According to physics concept, she gave the force to the luggage so that the luggage can move. Force has relation with mass and acceleration. What can I say, as the heavier the mass the big the force. The luggage was so heavy because her mother put a bowling ball inside. This is because her mother did not want her to go far away. 

Next, the scene when she put a skateboard under a table in order to move that table outside the house. The table was put outside to help her sister to sell lemonade. Why she put that skateboard under the table? That is because friction. Yes! Friction. If she did not put that skateboard under the table, it will be hard to move because the friction is too big between the surface of the ground and and the table. So, the function of that skateboard is to reduce the friction in that situation.

See? Everything that we do in our daily life is related to physics, even in this movie also have physics concept.
