2 pointsI played dodgeball too!

2 pointsThe reason why you get shocked more in the winter is because everyone has their heaters on which draws the moisture out of the air which causes the charges to build up and cling to us more since there is less moisture in the air.
-
2 pointsI'm jealous. I remember when i had time to play some of these. Instead, last night's excitement include an episode of Sofia the First "The Emerald Key" -- some great dramatic tension at the end -- coupled with a trio of Elmo songs and reading two chapters of the third installment of the "Princess Tiara" book series.

2 pointsI never thought I'd have to say this, but I feel really excluded by all of the video gamers.
-
2 pointsSo are you saying that in one of these dimensions you're actually good at super Mario??. Fascinating stuff Jake, and don't go putting your cats in radioactive boxes, alright big guy?
-
2 pointsJelliott, I can really relate to your analogies. I too wish to become a beautiful butterfly, to grow and grow until I burst with knowledge. although I find some of your post humorous as intended, I think you struck on very important ideas. I think hard problems can be torture but on the other hand, that makes them that much more rewarding when completed.

2 pointsMaybe I'll write a post just about cows...*suspense*

2 pointsSweet blog post. If you wouldn't mind spreading the love and also buying your two student teachers silver Porsches, we wouldn't complain
-
2 pointsYay coat hanger! I hope you don't mind, I posted on this topic too but cited your blogpost in it. Nice work here
-
2 points11/10 already and all i've read was the title.
-
2 pointsGlad to hear you were able to get that coathanger bent and see the continuous shape that the solenoid makes with the soap bubbles!

1 pointMy goodness, not sure where to begin here HegelBot153... laughing over the blatant shilling for the APC Companion.
-
1 pointWow they turned RPG fishing into a real thing!
-
1 pointThanks etracey99! Yea, that may be a good idea for the future... In the meantime, I will cover some other subjects because the last thing I want to be known on here as is the Pokémon density guy.
-
1 pointBaby Powder Onix Now, what about the density of Steelix?
-
1 pointAbsolutely fantastic post, and I love the jumper from Stanley -- that's how you serve aggressive!
-
1 pointBack squats are my fave as well... but 405. Still amazed, though, even for a movement that looks so simple and like it just requires raw power -- just how much technique plays a role in hitting that personal high lift. I was capped in the 360 range until I adjusted my foot position and hand position just a tiny bit, then all of a sudden 400 was in reach. Applying the force at just the right spot to maximize your efforts is SOOOO important!

1 pointIt's been a few years since I last did this, but I bet my little girls would love going on a geocaching "treasure hunt." Great reminder!

1 pointQuinn - Sorry you experienced the more painful side of physics. Elastic and inelastic collisions are really interesting to think about, especially in terms of the sports that are played. When I go bowling this weekend, I am going to try to put them both to work for me!! Which do you think would be most important?
-
1 pointHi Isaac - I appreciate the connections between physics and dodgeball that you are making. I know that I have seen some pretty intense slow-motion, time-stop videos that demonstrate the collision impacts you describe. I found one embedded in this prezi - https://prezi.com/nn6xcsmrgdzx/the-physics-of-dodgeball/It is in the "Collision" portion. There are also interesting connections to your concept of absorbed forces to other sports, including baseball and NASCAR. One is in favor of the absorption -one not so much....
-
1 pointI absolutely loved reading this -- not only for the awesomeness that is our universe, but that awesomeness that is your enthusiasm. Great post!
-
1 pointchewy is so cute! you should post a picture of him doing this next time!

1 pointI have never been to Disney World before and if I ever go I will now think about all the physics of the rollercoasters! Thanks Lia
-
1 pointI love Disney! that was such a creative idea to pull in something so fun and relate it to physics.
-
1 pointGood connection from a black hole to US!
-
1 pointEven though Kylee and Mandy always go at it, it's cool that you found the physics in it!
-
1 pointGreat post! And to add some trivia, Zooey Deschanel also sings two songs, including the title track, in the recently released Winnie The Pooh movie!

1 pointWhat an amazing post jelliott -- lots of great insight. Physics C is all about that logical process, and building your "arsenal" of problem-solving tools. And as strange as it may sound, don't let the calculus scare you. You have an amazing calculus teacher, and by the end of the year, you're going to actually prefer the problems that have calculus in them, you'll be so good at it. Calculus is just slopes and areas, things you've been doing for years -- the only real difference is the symbology looks a little different, kind of like reading a different language. Once you learn the language, though, you're golden!

1 pointI'm happy to see kphysics commented. looks like the end of course review will not be dreaded! jk
-
1 pointyou make me smile. So glad it is making sense. I'm sorry it did not in the beginning. physics can get very complicated but the same process that you have developed will help you tackle more. nice video!
-
1 pointAnd now I'm hungry!

1 pointA blog post combining Dr. Who, Modern Physics, and pretty pictures -- what's not to love?
-
1 pointI love how you look at something you enjoy through the lens of physics. We'll be getting into objects tossed up and down starting early next week!
-
1 pointI really liked that you picked a unique topic like this and related it to yourself!
-
1 pointThat must of been scary. it had probally had taken a beating.
-
1 pointI always wondered why the beaches here and some other beaches get so hot, while others stay nice and cold. I never realized that it was what makes up the sand that causes it to get so hot.
-
1 pointSoo are you saying that if we were to find enough energy we could travel through space?
-
1 pointEven after understanding the physics of it, Im probably still awful at playing it!
-
1 pointVery well done! Physics everywhere in volleyball. The video looks like a lot of fun -- we should make our own.
-
1 pointGreat idea, and very well executed. Goes right along with what we're learning about the electromagnetic spectrum.
-
1 pointOooooh so exciting. Volleyball is a foreign world for me. All I know is that the net can make a pulse when you hit it. However, I've just learned stuff. A lot of kinetic and potential energy in the players, and as for technical stuff with the ball—seems like a bunch of acceleration, momentum and timing. Yaa-hoo for physics and Eike<3 By the way, it seems my picture is a dog... I wonder who did this...
