Questions and No Answers (Physics Day 1)



     This year (2014), I, David Schill expect to learn everything! No really I do, because from what I have heard, physics is everything.  That means that I expect to learn why I cant hold a rope under my feet, pull up hard and quick, repeat this step over and over, and do some form of levitation. Secondly, I expect to learn why objects in free fall can only go as fast as their terminal velocity will allow them.  Thirdly, I expect to learn why certain metals conduct electricity better, or worse than other metals.
I think that studying physics is important because physics is what makes all the sports I love possible.  Physics explains why when your hands are you are cold you can rub them together and create heat.  And it is important to study physics so that automobile engineers  can better protect us from the forces involved in a crash.  This year my goals in physics include to maintain at least a B average, to test better than I have in previous science courses, and to come away with an applicable understanding of physics.
