While I was up on my wall trimming the trees I took a moment to step back and think about the physics that were taking place right in front of my eyes. As I stood there I realized that I had a certain amount of potential energy with relation to the ground below me but no kinetic energy. When I jumped off the wall and onto the ground I observed that my potential energy decreased as my kinetic energy increased. I also noticed that while both my potential and kinetic energies were changing, my total energy remained constant throughout the jump. What a beautiful day.
