Everyone knows Physics!!

Its true!!! You do know physics!!

Even though you might  cringe at the sound of the word physics... probably because of that "horrible" physics course you took in high school or the fact you avoided it because the course involved math.. you actually have a very good understanding of physics.

Physics is used every time you:

1) walk since you are constantly shifting your center of mass since you know that if you don't do so you will fall...

2) stop your car..you figure out how hard you need to use the brakes to just stop in time..well most of us can :) ... (oh that reminds me...don't talk on the cell phone while driving the car...)

3) play sports... the physics behind hitting a golf ball, throwing a baseball, heading/trapping a soccer ball, etc..requires you to analyse the motion to determine what all your muscles of your joints need to do get the desired affects.. (I myself still can't figure out the "physics" behind golf..my slice contests to that, but I can at least "hit" the ball.. :) )

To name a few..

You certainly appreciate what Physics can do in everyday life....

Physics is in action when you:

use the cell phone, look at a rainbow, see a "falling star", watch TV, use your mp3 player, play a video game, go on a trip, ride a bike, rent a movie, go to a movie, see a satellite move in the night sky (they are easy to find..you should try it some time..just after sunset look up...you will soon see a "moving star"..it is most likely a satellite.), watch a rocket launch, bounce a ball, turn on a light switch, cook dinner, drink your favourite beverage, read a book, see Christmas lights, go to a concert, watch fire works etc..

Physics was used to make it happen in one way or another...

So regardless whether you like physics or dread hearing its word, it is there, you can't avoid it....

The purpose of the blog is to help make you not dread it so much and maybe have you appreciate physics some more.  And yes maybe give it some LUV!!

And remember...physics isn't math...but if you like math you can actually do some pretty cool physics...  

I'll try to help you do a little bit of both...appreciate and do.... some physics.  So don't be shy..

because you know... Ugottaluvphysics!
