I decided to take physics because I am really interested in becoming an engineer. I consider myself really good at math so I figure I would have a easier job than most in taking this class. I'm a really big fan of engineering that involves physics so I think I will like this class. I can't wait for all the awesome experiments. I'm really looking forward to building catapults and some of the other projects. This is why I wanted to take physics, I just wanted to give a quick reasoning guys, thx for reading.

Hey guys my name is Jman612 and I'm writing to tell you about myself. I'm a student at West Irondequoit High School and I'm going into my Senior year. I'll be graduating in 2015. I'm a big fan of soccer and football. I play soccer and watch football(My team is the Buffalo Bills) and I love to talk football. I've been to Canada, Mexico, Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and I have plans to go to either Aruba or Belize next year. Well that's a basic look into my life and what I'm about, thx for reading.

My name is Ed. I was born in Chicago, Illinois. My family moved to Rochester in 2000. I am a Senior at West Irondequoit High School. I was chosen to be a Link Leader for the incoming Freshmen. I enjoy being outdoors in which led to my interest in clean water management. I am on the Varsity Swim team. My favorite stroke is freestyle. My interests include ultimate Frisbee, making money, and camping. I am an avid sports fan. Some of my favorite teams are the Buffalo Bills, Chicago Blackhawks, and the Chicago Fire. I pursued taking four years of Science in high school so that it would prepare me for continuing my higher educational goals. I am interested in the following Science fields, Natural Sciences, Environmental and Water Resource Management. I hope to improve my understanding of physics.

Name: Introduction to Free-Fall and the Acceleration due to Gravity Category: Kinematics Date Added: 21 May 2014 - 03:52 PM Submitter: Flipping Physics Short Description: None Provided In this lesson we extend our knowledge of Uniformly Accelerated Motion to include freely falling objects. We talk about what Free-Fall means, how to work with it and how to identify and object in Free-Fall. Today I get to introduce so many of my favorites: the medicine ball, the vacuum that you can breathe and, of course, little g. Content Times: 0:22 An Example of An Object in Free-Fall 0:54 Textbook definition of a freely falling object 1:11 We have not defined a "Force" so this is how we define Free-Fall 2:07 No Air Resistance (The Vacuum that You Can Breathe!) 3:10 What does it mean to be in Free-Fall? (The Acceleration due to Gravity) 4:41 The Acceleration due to Gravity - Not on Earth 5:24 g is not constant on Earth. Very close, but not quite 5:56 Common Misconception: Objects moving upward can be freely falling 6:35 Free-Fall is Uniformly Accelerated Motion 7:27 What does the negative mean in -9.81 m/s^2? 7:57 Is "g" positive or negative? 9:01 How can "g" be not constant and we can use UAM? 10:03 Does mass effect the acceleration due to gravity? 10:47 The Review View Video

So I'll get straight to the point. There has been a lot of talk about insanity and it being crucial to the decisions of all of us to take Physics C, and I think there's some truth to that. I too may be a little insane for taking this class but I think that most people think that I'm completely crazy because I genuinely love running (I don't think that makes me crazy though). Sadly that's most of my life but in my free time I try to do some more exciting things like skiing and longboarding as much as possible. With that said, expect a lot of future blog posts on the physics of running and gravity related sports. I'm taking Physics C this year because I aspire to be an engineer of some sort and be involved with something really cool. And the money wouldn't be so bad either. And I'm pretty sure that continuing to learn physics will help me in a college engineering program. Plus I think that physics is more interesting than chemistry and biology... I'm really excited to learn some of the physics of the real world, rather than the laws of some unattainable perfect world that we learned in Physics B because that's boring. And lets be real, if the hardware store that was brought up so many times last year (you know that one that sells mass-less rope, friction-less tables, inclined planes and pulleys, and is likely full of resistance-less air) existed, it would put Lowes and Home Depot out of business in an instant. Interestingly enough, as of now I'm not scared of this class, probably due to false hope or ignorance, so I guess I'm anxious to see how that pans out in a few weeks. Oh and I'm really tired right now so that's why this post may seem like a half- lucid rant. Maybe it's not that simple after all. Foreshadowing?
