DO WORK!

When you think of doing work you think of school or having a job. But in physics “work” is a measurement. Work is equal to force times distance (W=FD). Work is measured in Joules (J), force is measured in newtons, and distance is measured in meters. A newton is equal to the mass of something times gravity (N=mg). It is a fairly easy topic to learn. If you have force and work you can find distance, if you have distance and work then you can find force and ect. The person in this picture is doing work because the mass of their finger is going the distance down to the keyboard. So if the mass of his finger was .4kg and it had to go .1 meters down to the keyboard then the work that he would have is 0.04 J. W=FD.

What I am thankful for

Thanksgiving isn’t just about what you are thankful for in life, but it is also about what you are thankful for in school subjects like physics. There are many things to be thankful for in physics but the one thing that I am the most thankful for is gravity (-9.8 m/s^2). It is the best thing that has ever happened to the world and to physics. Without gravity everything would be floating around and it would be hard to do anything with out it. That is why everything in my room is not floating; it is staying down, because of gravity.
