Entry Three

One new occurrence that has occurred these past few days has been that the heat and light has increased considerably. The above picture is one that I took today at about five o'clock. In it, my neighbors are depicted shooting hoops. Even though this is a decision, you cannot play basketball during the winter because it will not bounce.
It will not bounce because the air inside the basketball will contract and when the ball is not full of air, the ball does not bounce anywhere near as well. the ball bounces in the first place because of the reaction. This reaction is less powerful if the momentum is less, and the momentum is less if it has less weight.
