Things i learned this semester, lets see:

  1. MASS IS NOT WEIGHT!!!
  2. mr blake is a secret jamaican ninja (da whole ting and bureku technique)
  3. There are two types of collisions: elastic and inelastic
  4. Sheila the Amazon is greatly hated amongst the piranha men
  5. Blog posts like to ruin my weekends... (just kidding)
  6. PA's are only for those who enjoy 9-15 difficulties every week
  7. Procrastination is the key to success
  8. Balancing books on your head makes a great princess
  9. Eggs are for eating not for throwing them off a three story roof
  10. Mr. Blake and Da Freitas was part of the band Tenacious D but got kicked off a cliff for being too awesome...
  11. The board not bored is never bored unless it's on a board
  12. Free body diagrams are like someones icky aunt Clare, no one likes or wants them...
  13. Never shoot something up in the air while moving, it'll only end in tears and/or broken bones or limbs or internal or external organs...

  16. Pulleys changes the direction and is not welcomed by most students
  17. We will fight to the death with Nutter Butters!
  18. Don't ask a science teacher for an answer, they will always manage to turn "how do you find PEg?" to "wow you know when I was your age, we never had iPods..." 
  19. Don't play with the carts, unless you want to pay twice as much for a cart...
  20. Finally I learned that physics is life, we live, breath, work and see physics everywhere.  That is why we do these blog posts, to compare everyday things to what we learned.
I realized some of the stuff I said may come off somewhat offensive.  I apologize to anyone who reads this and I hope you don't sue me.  I love all that read and follow and don't really want to go to jail for a few jokes.  I hope you guys have a wonderful Christmas and a wonderful New Year.

PS: Next year is the year of the dragon! For those of you who follow the Chinese zodiac.

Blog Post #14

Hey so this is me with another blog post.  So today I'm going to be talking about potential and kinetic energy.  So potential energy is basically when the energy when an object is not moving and kinetic energy is when an object is moving.  Also energy is never created nor destroyed just changes form, also known as the conservation of energy.  This means that if the potential energy of the football is something, that means that when it is thrown, over time, the potential energy will turn to kinetic energy, because its in motion.  So the energy will always be the same, as long as it stays in the air.  Once the ball lands, the energy is changed and when it is thrown again, there may be a different amount of energy.  So this is basically energy.  Sorry if it's a little confusing and grammatically incorrect.  It takes a lot of understanding to fully get it.  So enjoy this, I hope you learned something new and now you can say that I learned about energy.
