DON'T BE A JERK!

Today, while sitting in my physics class, I saw a very funny shirt that one of my peers was wearing. You need some knowledge of physics and calculus to understand this one. Take a look below.

Still don't get it? You need to know that s is displacement. The derivative of s with respect to time, (d^2)s/(dt^2), is acceleration. The derivative of acceleration, (d^3)s/(dt^3), is called jerk. So the shirt read "DON'T BE A JERK."

Pretty funny, right?

Get to know Isaac Newton

If you are at all interested in calculus or physics, you need to get to know Isaac Newton. The man was a pure genius. He created calculus just so he could do physics! Brilliant!

"Nature and nature's laws lay hid in night;
God said "Let Newton be" and all was light."
- Alexander Pope

How to Calculate Center of Gravity

wikiHow, a website geared toward giving step by step instructions, had an article on calculating the center of gravity posted on December 6th. The article is easy to follow and, most importantly, it is accurate.

You may know "center of gravity" as "center of mass." For the most part, these are the same thing.
