Wheeler 12/09

Ah, Friday the ninth of December! A very very cold day. A day that really made me miss my home in North Carolina, where a couple inches of snow was the most I ever saw each winter. I remember I never liked having much snow. But now that I'm here, in unpredictable Ohio, I prefer the couple inches over a couple feet. Anyways, on to Physics now. Well, really, I'm sure we could find the final velocity of falling snowflakes by applying our formulas, maybe having to call up the weather man to help us out with the initial velocity. We already know the acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s squared. If the snowflake wouldnt melt before we weighed it, we could find its mass on our own...I should stop now before I give Coats-Haan any ideas. But really, I am moving on to Physics class now.

Well, I really hope this is not a surprise to any of you, and I am rather scared for you if it is (unless, of course, if you are Chris Roseblossom, my lab partner, who is just really too smart for his own good), we took a test over Newton's Law Application. I studied using my Newton's Law Application Test Review, which we turned in on Friday. The answers were on the physics website, and Coats-Haan even showed her work for us, like usual. The test reviews are always helpful for tests and also exams, so I save every one of them. Psst! You should save them too! They make filling out the quarterly exams a breeze!

QOD: What do you know about astronomy? About the only thing I know about astronomy is that it involves the study of the stars. However, I'm sure there is some in-depth physics reasoning behind astronomy that we are about to delve into on Monday.
