 This is a passage from my physics book. I don't read my textbooks but I thought physics would be interesting.




WEIGHT

What is the definition of weight? 

The weight of something is how much force is needed to hold it up. If you hold a bucket of water above your head, and somehow could measure the force you are exerting, that is the weight of the bucket. When you step on a scale, the scale measures the force needed to hold you up. In geek talk, weight is measured in newtons, but we use pounds in America (why??). 😀
    The bigger you are, the more force is needed by the scale to hold you up. Although this could be a sensitive topic. Let's move on. 
    There is a derivation for the weight formula, but I'm going to skip it cause no one tryna see that. The formula is Weight=Fg(mg), which makes perfect sense because the amount of force the scale is exerting should be equal to force of gravity. 😁

Weighing
Obviously to weigh something is to measure its weight. You can use a equal-arm balance to find the mass then use the formula to find the weight. But that is like prehistoric so just use a scale fr. To get an accurate measuring don't be in an elevator😹and don't be freefalling 😹.
    Also the mass of something isn't the same as the weight. Mass is the same anywhere you go, but weight will differ like if you're on the moon, cause basically the gravity is weaker there.

    I really liked your inclusion of humor while also still getting the textbook's main point across.

 After reading Recitatif and its themes of differences in perception, I couldn't help but wonder the extent of this in our lives. Last week when we were doing the graphs on the structure of the story of Three Girls and Flowers, almost everyone in my group had unique looking graphs; it all comes down to perception. We all read the same piece and were given the same task, yet produced different answers. I believe it all boils down to our memories and past experiences.  This parallels what we're learning in AP Psych right now: the fact that memories causes perceptual sets (biases) in everyone. When you think about it, we are really just our memories. They are what we did in the past and they affect how we will act in the present and the future. This is what makes us unique; the fact that no two people have the same perception of life. Sometimes, people's perception of things can be starkly different, as in Recitatif. Although Roberta and Twyla were both at the incident with Ma...

Who doesn't like eggs?

 The best present out of the 12 days of Christmas is undoubtedly the 3 French hens. I'd go as far to say, even with the 5 gold rings included, the hens are still a better option.  First of all, days 8-11 are probably considered human trafficking if you were actually gifted them, so they can be removed from the equation. If you weren't already arrested for such a crime, supporting 8+ people would be quite heavy on the bills, not to mention the need for a mansion of a home. And who would want to hear 12 drummers all day/night? From a monetary perspective, 5 average gold rings would cost around $1000 total (200 per ring from Google). If we assume that the 3 French hens have a full lifetime ahead of them, lay an average of 265 eggs a year, and have 4 years of productive egg-laying, we reach a sum of 3180 eggs. And, because they graze in the backyard and are healthy, we'll consider them pasture-raised. At today's market price of 6$ a dozen, that's $1590 total.  Yet, the ...

What's a father?

-
 Last week in class we read "A Story", a poem about a father trying to come up with a story for his son before bed time. I believe the main message of the poem is about the difficulties fathers (or mothers) experience trying to please their kids and also not being able to let them go as they grow old. The poem does a good job being generalized so that it is relatable to many people, with the simple title and lack of names. While the child only innocently wants to hear a new story, this task is very challenging to the father. It causes him to create a whole scenario in the future where he struggles to let his son leave. The child never meant to cause pain to the father, yet the father takes it upon himself to do everything to support his son.  The author implies that this kind of relationship is unhealthy. As in the last lines, he states that the two sides add up to silence, where nothing is accomplished and only remains in a cycle of stress.  Yet this poem also comments o...
