Tug Of War!

Hello, last week our classroom did a Tug of War! we were learning about gravity and forces
We were later writing about what had happened so I would like to share with you my awesome story of what had happened hope you like it and enjoy my piece of writing.
Yesterday we did a tug of war to see the forces oppose each other.
We had to collaborate and use teamwork to help each other and win.
We had to pull the rope with our hands and it hurt.
Do you think shoes, socks or bare feet have more friction?
The socks had less friction. The socks were really slippery when we had to pull we were
basically sliding and we were falling over.
The shoes had more friction because the shoes had grip and they held on for a while until the
friction went and it wouldn't grip.
Bare feet had grip as well as friction. You had to use forces to
move the rope. You needed to have a good grip on your hands.
Secondly, we had to push and pull. There were two opposing forces pulling the rope from each side.
The end with the most pull force and weight made the other end drag.
We had different strength and technique on doing it and different technique on how to pull.
Some will wrap the rope around there hand, some will hold all the rope or people just sit down and pull
as hard as they could. On the other hand, when one side has more force it accelerates. When it went forward it was
thrust. We were on two teams boys vs girls and when it came to all of us doing it the boys fell over on each other.

When Tau’taina was doing it with yohaness it was really funny yohaness was slipping because of his socks.

Lastly, When the forces were the same, the rope didn't move because it was balanced.
If we had two heavy people on each side and two light people on each side the
rope won’t move because the weight is the same and is balanced.
But if it was one heavy person and one light person than the rope will move and the rope won't be balanced.
Finally, it was funny when semisi was lying down and said: “ahh my leg hurts ahh!”.

The end.
