This semester in physics we covered a total of 6 units. From general terms of physics that we see throughout the whole semester to momentum, and energy. In units 1-3 we covered general terms of physics, vectors, kinematics and 2D kinematics. The general terms are vocabulary and science laws that we use in physics. They are like the fundamental aspects of physics. The paper work began at kinematics, it was really necessary to take notes and be attentive during class. Kinematics is the study of motion of objects and systems. This topic deals with vectors, scalars, distance, displacement along with many other terms. 2D kinematics makes it hard on us. Kinematics to ways, on the x and y axis. We learned the rules and things to follow when doing these calculations. In unit 4 we learned the three Newton laws about motion, inertia and all those things. We applied them when going over momentum and energy in units 5 and 6. Momentum and energy cannot be created or destroyed it can only transform. Within each unit we learned formulas, calculations and many different details to solve certain problems. I learned how to apply physics to my life, I kind of look at the world around me a little different, more in a physics sense. Besides the general physics that I learned, I also learned how to be more responsible and attentive in class. I also learned how to take better notes and how to look for important details. This class also gave me a different sense of humor. I actually enjoyed physics, I look forward to this class in the next semester and will try to keep my grades up.

This week we moved from momentums to energy. They hold similar properties and traits but they are not totally the same. Energy like momentum cannot be created or destroyed it just transforms. There is different forms of energy like potential and kinetic. In this picture I am holding my bag above my head, the bag has stored potential energy. This type of energy is found by multiplying the mass of the object by the gravity by the height of the object. This is dependent on the mass and height, meaning the greater the height or the mass the more potential energy the object has. Kinectic energy is the energy of the object during movement, in this case the fall. During the fall potential energy transforms into kinetic and energy is conserved.
