Its electric!

Electrostatics is the topic of choice this week in physics class.  Charges will normally discharge if touched by a conductor. The human body is considered to be neutral that is why we may be shocked. You get shocked because you may have touched something or rubbed your feet on the ground causing you to be more positive so when you touch somebody else you feel a shock because you are trying to get balanced out with the other person. Places that are extremely dry makes it easier to get shocked unlike being in Hawaii where there is high humidity. 

Eat to stay alive

I cant be the only who loves food? I got to have a lovely meal this weekend at dukes restaurant. It was decadent and quite filling to my surprise. So what does food have to do with physics? This week we are talking about energy. Food essentially gives all of us energy. If you don't know what its called it's calories, which are tiny people who sew our clothes tighter every night. But really calories is a measure of how much "energy" we are intaking. If you wanted to convert your calories into energy measurements, 1 calorie is equal to about 4.1855 joules.
