POST 2


Hi everyone,
so basically the physics test last week ate me alive.  But not as badly as the pch test did, hahahaha.  Well last week was brutal, there was a ton of homework from all my classes, and I had a test everyday from Tuesday.  The best part of physics this week was when we got to ride the elevator during class.  who knew so many people could fit inside that weinberg elevator!  I've never been in an elevator with that many people before, and it was interesting.  I thought it was cool how now we're starting to learn how physics applies to real life.  Lately we've just been doing examples like dropping a rock, or throwing a ball, and those don't seem quite as interesting when physics is related to other parts of life.  Anyways, lets see...how did physics apply to me this week...  well, on Saturday, us juniors had a bowling function, and i noticed that when I threw the ball with a greater force, it would knock the pins around more, causing more of them to fall, but when I threw the ball with little force, only a few would be knocked down. (either way, I hit gutter balls most of the time, fast or slow).  someday I hope to be able to calculate the exact velocity, spin, and force to hit a strike everytime!  Btw, I bowled a 110, not bad huh ;-)  haha jus kiddin.
