Wow Hannah what a good post! Science is so cool.

I love bunnies!

The catapult was not my favorite thing, but working with you made it fun!

Physics is involved in pretty much everything in life. Throughout my school day I experience all kinds of physics. First period I have Italian where I sit down (along with the rest of my classes) and I am applying a force to the chair and the chair is applying a force to me because of Newtons third law. Second period when I get my math test score back I hit my head against the desk which is also applying a force to the desk and the desk applies one right back. Third period is art class where I gravity is pushing my eyelids down while I struggle to stay awake. Fourth period is APUSH which could be compared to a black hole. Black holes have tons to do with physics. A black hole is a point in space with so much gravity that not even light can escape and that is most definitely APUSH... Fifth and 6th periods are the best of the day because I do not have classes these periods so I can do my homework. Seventh period is English where I push down on my pencil and it leaves a mark on the many papers I have to write. Gravity also pushes down on that pencil. Eighth period could be the first period of a double for physics or if I am lucky its gym. In gym there is so much physics. A ball is thrown and is a projectile motion. Gravity acts on the ball at all times. If were running in gym we push down on the ground with our legs and the ground pushes us back allowing us to run. And then ninth period, well there is too much physics in a physics class to list. Tons of gravity throughout the day and tons of newtons laws. Crazy..

Physics applies to volleyball in many ways. When you hit or serve a ball there is a force being applied to the ball which would be your hand. The ball also exerts a force back onto your hand. Your hand and the ball would be an Action-Reaction pair because of newtons 3rd law: All forces come in pairs. If object one exerts a force on object two, then object two must exert a force back on object one, which is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. Also when the ball is served or hit, it has initial and final vertical and horizontal velocities so it would be an angled projectile. The ball however does have air resistance when in the air. Its much easier to hit a volleyball than many other things such as bowling balls, basketballs, and soccer balls because volleyballs have less inertia. Also the gravitational force of the earth impacts every part of volleyball. One of the reasons I love playing volleyball is because of reaction time.. The reaction time of the back row on the other side of the net is generally too slow to pick up our team's hits and tips since the ball is accelerating at 9.81 m/s^2 and we applied a downward force and that is why we have done so well this season (And Callari ofcourse!). Friction also plays a role in volleyball because if you dive after a ball that your teammate shanks and you slide on the floor that alot of mews and alot of floor burns.. and if you think about it.. If two cats are on a roof which one would slide off first? The one with the smaller mew...

The zoo sounds like a cool place.

Yeah my chem teacher suggested I take physics and I'm glad he did.

Hi my name is Kylee and I like animals and I play sports. I play Volleyball and Basketball here at Irondequoit as well as for travel teams. My favorite highschool class so far is Chemistry because I had a really good teacher and it was really fun. I am super excited for junior year. I am taking physics because I enjoy science alot. I hope to take AP chem next year. This year I hope to learn everything that is required to do well on the regents and help me next year in AP chem. Mr. Fullerton seems super rad.
