ID Physics Class

     Interdisciplinary... So in my physics class we're always doing something different, Ms. Hudson moves so quickly between subjects and there's just so much to cover. Right now we're working on air resistance, it might just be the easiest subject in her class this year. It's pretty much the rule of whatever force is being put onto an object there'll always be a force objecting it. In this case we're focusing on the different forces of air, why some things fall faster than others and how speed does this. I find this subject to be interesting because before the thought of physics and the study of why and how things happen when you fall or drop something you just think of it as this thing is falling because there's nothing underneath it to hold it up; but of course this is wrong, that's where air resistance comes in. Gravity is what holds everything down, it's a natural pull that brings everything towards the core of the earth, opposing that is air resistance: what pushes everything back up.
     I know it seems like I'm about to get into the science of everything but I'm not. Once you learn the truth behind something you ever wonder what life would be like without it. If there was not gravity and only air resistance nothing in the world would sag. Nobody would get wrinkles and saggy nipples. You could drink soda without a cup and stoners would be able to do the best smoke tricks. If everything just floated how do you spit or use the bathroom? Like imagine being an astronaut or something and you go to the bathroom to doo-doo it's just gonna float. How do you get rid of the smell if everything is just allowed to freely float in the atmosphere? That's nasty, thank God for gravity and that we dont live in a vacuum (the correct term for an atmosphere with no gravitational pull). Well anyway that's physics class, where we learn about why stuff falls.

  1. Yea, but if there were no gravity there would be no atmosphere. Gravity sucks the atmosphere to the planet!
