Physics in the Photo

This is another photo that I took when I was in photography. It is one that I am especially fond of because it looks rather whimsical and maybe almost nostalgic. This represents physics because of what my friend, Maile, is unable to do--that is, she cannot fly with an umbrella. Unfortunately, she is no Mary Poppins or a magical being with no mass. Because of the pull of gravity on her, she cannot float away under the umbrella like a smaller creature might be able to. However, because of the gravitational pull on her, she is able to do everyday things like running, jumping, kicking, and rolling.
