What is math/physics?


To me math is one of the building blocks of life, as well as physics. Where ever you go you can find math, Such as walking in the from door of a restaurant. What measures were made to assure the door was big enough? What equations did the construction workers use to Measure a door way? How about the ceiling? How any people will be able to fit in this restaurant while still having two feet between each one of them? Another thing to figure out the rate of a growing object and make a prediction, suck as; If a flower grows 12cm in 2007, 15cm in 2008, and 10cm in 2009 how tall is the flower? About how tall will it be in 2010? What about 2011? Everyone uses math, whether they are just learning to count to ten or working on an equation to use rocket fuel. Math ranges from baking a cake, building a chair, figuring out how many miles it would take to go from New York to Denver and back again, or staying within your budget while shopping, and all the way back again.

Physics is natural science, such as energy, matter, motion, and force. Physics and math are extremely close and almost intertwine with each other. There is a mathematical equation for solving for velocity, time, and acceleration. We are using physics just by walking or moving a pencil. We are using force to propel our self forward and put the pencil in a different place than it was before. physics is everywhere, from a car speeding at 80mph or a rock falling off a two foot desk. Everyone uses it, whether its an inanimate object or a living thing. If it can move physics is used.

Picture explanation: To cause the flames on the piano, energy is needed, therefor connecting to physics.
