Light

So I was sick this whole week which sucked because I stayed home (besides the baseball game which I had very important business attending!) Well anywayyyyy, I only remember that I learned about light polarization. We were given filters and looked through them at certain lights such as reflection off of windows. When you turn the filter 90 degrees, it would sometimes turn black and is no longer transparent! Those light particles are polarized! (Because light is an electromagnetic wave! :) Yay for physics!

This weekend was family fair!!!! At the fair I saw a carebear prize that I really wanted to win. In order to win the "big" prize, you had to throw a plastic ball into these metal milk jugs. And not just one ball...THREE! I spent a lot of money trying to win the bear, and each time I would adjust my formation so that the ball would fall into the jugs. No, it did not consist of calculating any angles or velocity, although it does have to do with projectile motion! Unfortunately I did not win, but my friend won it for me :) I also stayed at the Hilton this weekend and  they have new slides! :) I rode them, and it wasn't bad at all. Since so much water was flowing down the slide, my heavy self was able to slip down real fast because there was barely any friction (:

happy easter!

Yay to three day weekends! Btw, happy easter! So my younger cousins came over this afternoon, and they both do not have pierced ears. However there was something on their ears. I went to take a closer peek, and there were magnetic earrings attached to their lobes. Each magnet has a north and a south pole, where opposites attract and like charges repel. Although each magnet appeared very small, the magnetic attraction between the front and backing of each earring was strong enough to stick together with the lobe skin in between. Pretty ridiculous! I also went with a few friends to play tennis. As usual, projectile motion took place! Just a little from last semester (:

magnets!

As a senior, I have been waiting for my college mail. This weekend I got my last letter, and I got into Chapman! Like any excited student, I took my letter and stuck it on the fridge! No silly, not with tape, with a magnet!!! In order for the magnet to stick to the fridge, a magnetic field must be present. And don't forget, opposites attract, and like forces repel! Because the magnetic force between my magnet and my fridge is so great, the paper is able to stay up for everyone to admire (: Yay to physics!
