Sounds like you're a very well-rounded individual. My wife and daughter are girl scouts. Well, my wife's a troop leader, my daughter's a Daisy. That's close... :-)
And there's no such thing as an average student. You are all amazing in unique and fun ways!

Tons of physics in baseball. I high school physics teacher in San Mateo, California, is actually a consultant for the SF Giants. Paul Robinson. He even does some nice physics of baseball videos!

This is a great course to really help you learn to teach yourself as well as self-managing your workload. It can be difficult at times, but after we get into a routine, many students enjoy the independence and the ability to set their own priorities and schedules. I'm hoping you'll find the same!

I think you'll enjoy AP Physics C. It's the course where for the first time many students get to see what's referred to as the "beauty" of science, where the interconnectedness of so many topics you've been studying becomes visible. Welcome to the course!

So glad to hear you're virtually perfect... that will come in handy with all of our challenging content this year. If you would prefer not to do the blog posts (as this first one is already too many), come see me and I can eliminate that requirement for you -- if it's not value-added and the class will be easy anyhow, I'd hate to waste your time with something you don't see value in.

I think it's going to be a great year too! I wonder what could be done as far as the physics of riding horses? Bet there's a ton to explore there...

Excellent first blog post Paperboy! Although we don't cover astrophysics itself in this course, we'll lay a ton of groundwork for future studies... pay special attention to our units on gravity, rotational motion, and believe it or not, much of what we do in E&M will have a strong correlation to applications in astrophysics later.
Who's your favorite musician / band?

I'll echo what PaperBoy said. You're right, AP Physics C is a tough class. It'll be a struggle, it'll be frustrating, it'll be hard work, but if you stick with it and do the work, you'll come out better for it on the other said (and don't worry about grades in here -- if you're doing what you're supposed to, it'll take care of itself).
PS -- I see you love baking. I love eating. Hmmmmmm........

That is tremendous... I love the sound effects as it's being pressurized!
-
Well reasoned and well written. Another nice outcome of CERN -- the beginnings of the Internet (no, it wasn't Al Gore). :-)

Just spent some quality time with my jump rope tonight. Waves are everywhere!

Hate it when those stationary cars jump out in front of you... glad everyone's safe.

you mean kind of like this? http://aplusphysics.com/community/index.php/videos/view-33-tuning-fork-at-1600fps-the-slow-mo-guys/

Looking forward to seeing this one soon!

Physics harshness!

And that is the basis of AP Physics C!

Wow, I'm amazed it still works. Small miracles...
-
Everybody has skills... falling gracefully (or at least in an amusing manner) is a unique one!

An interesting tidbit -- that was filmed at Samsung Austin Semiconductor in Texas right after I left the company to come back to Rochester. The cubicles were our engineering offices, and their surveillance rooms our meeting rooms.
-
Can't wait to see it implemented in our daily lives!
-
Another physics item coming up soon... how can you hear a referee's whistle if they are facing away from you?
-
I'm guessing you're not moving to Hawaii anytime soon?

I'm really loving all the new technology being incorporated into transparent displays, from Gorilla Glass to sapphire screens. Some amazing improvements in scratch resistance and toughness for our smart phones, watches, etc. Great post!

Tremendous first blog post -- and I learned something new!
