I shutter that you have to ask...

..If there is a God. Yes there is, the world (and Satan) are just clouding your sight. And pain is a part of life I don't care what you do or don't believe.

A lot of the pain is to bring us together. And the pain is self- inflicted usually but also, Satan trying to knock us down. He ran from God and he wants us to do the same. Society is sure helping him do so. Pain is a part of life, for a Christian Earth is supposed to be the only Hell we ever experience. I love the fact that making it through this silly life fullfilling my purpose for God and then never having to hurt again, is so worth every bit of it. I'm not perfect so I know I will do things to trip up all the time and those will lead to pain. But with cancer, it's hard to explain why and it sucks most of all. Especially when you don't get to say goodbye to the person and they don't get to say goodbye to anyone. But the truth is no one gets out of life alive so worrying about how/when we die does nothing for us. You are the only one who feels the things you do. That is something special in and of itself. You will be able to relate differently to someone because you know how they feel. When someone understands me on something like that it makes a world of difference.

Let's learn some Physics, shall we?

Newton's First Law:
"An object's velocity remains constant unless the object is acted upon by and external net force."

translation/break down:
velocity is the rate  of diplacement or the rate of change of position. Key thought, "How fast and in what direction."
constant can say the object is stationary or moving. This is at zero (continuing in a state of rest) or not zero (uniform motion in a straight line).
external net force is the total force acting upon it. This changes when the object is not at zero.

terms:
reference frame- it is those things we say are not moving, to which we refer when describing the motions of other things.
inertia- is an intrinsic property of motion; the state of an object staying in motion or not in motion.
mass- is a measure of inertia (in kilograms).
weight- is the force due to gravity (in newtons).

clicker question findings:
motion is not an intrinsic property of motion.
an object at rest will remain at rest.
an object in motion will remain in motion.
motion is uniform, constant in both speed and direction.
equilibrium is the name for "the net external force equals zero."
1 liter of water (which is it's measure in volume) has a mass of 1 kilogram (of inertia) and 10 Newtons of force (due to gravity).


This is just a little bit of the stuff to know for the first test. I feel confident because I have been able to explain it to others. A lot of those times with out having to read it. Little Joey, I hope you are on my side- let's do some physics!
