Remember These 3 Laws

There was once a guy named Sir Isaac Newton. Pretty intelligent guy actually. He worked on developing calculus (the branch of mathematics that is concerned with limits and with the differentiation and integration of functions) and physics (how things work) at the same time. The ideas that he had came up with had then been tested and verified so many times over the years, and are now known as Newton's Three Laws of Motion.
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. If nothing is happening to you, and nothing does happen, you will never go anywhere. Like if you were going in any specific direction, unless something happens to you, you will always go in that direction... FOREVER...
For example the sun will orbit the sun forever and a box will not move unless some force is pushing or pulling it.

An object with a larger mass needs more force to accelerate as eposed to an item with a small mass. So basically the larger a object is the more force you'll need to accelerate to make the object move or...
For every action/force there is always an opposite reaction/force. Meaning if I was to push open a swinging door it would come back at me probably twice as fast. (I would think)
Well that's it for this blog topic hope yall enjoyed it and please check the lengths below as a reference. ( : Also watch the video ( :

9/11

Today this blog post is not going to be about science, but for the first time it's about Social Studies. This blog post is in rememberance of the 9/11 terrorist attack. September 11th, the most lives the United States had gotten taken away from them in the shortest span of time. In a short, brief way, 9/11 was the day Islamic terrorist had been sent in to destroy important pieces of the US Government, two of which were the north and south tours in New York that had been hit by two planes that were high-jacked by the Islamic terrorist, the Pentagon in Washington where another plane had been high-jacked and crashed purposely, and the feild in Pennsylvania, where the forth plane had crashed. Now this plane crash is known as flight 93 in remeberance to those who died on that flight due to the fact it had been high-jacked and for the bravery they showed being on the flight before it had crashed.

Flight 93 had been on its origanal way to crash into the White House, when at that time George W. Bush had been the president. People on that flight were shocked and scared, while others were calling relatives and loved ones telling them about the situation and to never forget them. But due to bravery of those people they knew soon they were going to end up crashing somewhere and they were all going to pass away. So they decided the best way to pass is to pass for something worthwhile and they took over the plane and crashed it into the feilds which were origanally supposed to be the White House.

Laws !

Yes, laws, but more specifically Newton's First Law of Motion! No, I wasn't talking about government laws or that AMAZING show Law and Order, I was actually talking about Inertia. Inertia, the First Law of Motion.
         What is Inertia? Inertia is when an object in motion/rest stays in motion/rest unless acted upon by an unbanalced force. As you can see in the picture above the coin could would into the bottle if the unbalanced force (the hand) flicked the piece of paper/cardboard/ or glass.
