magnets

I was at home this weekend, bored out of my mind, so I decided to do something physics related. Everyone knows the bigger the magnet, the bigger the magnetic field. So I found my humagangous magnet and had some fun. My dog was lying down and there was a nail on the other side of him. I ran to him and put the magnet by his stomach, the nail jumped to the magnet. Since magnetic fields have forces far beyond what they actually reach, I wanted to see if forces could go through objects too, like through a dog. So i put the nail two inches from his stomach and the magnet on his back. It didn't work, it wasn't strong enough. Which I realized later was a good thing because the nail would have stabbed my dog.

Christmas in february

I finally finished taking down all my christmas lights around my house. it was a sad day. but, as i took down my mini christmas tree in my room (fake, so it was still pretty) i looked at the lights. I realized that all these lights are actually resistors, connected in a series. Or were they in parallel? I wanted to break off one of the lights, to see if the lack of one of the resistors would have brightened all the others. That would have been an easy test. But, i didnt feel like breaking my christmas tree... Santa clause would have smited me, or given me coal for the rest of my life. and im not a big fan of coal. so, ill leave it a mystery, for now

Ok so who else thought that this weekend was annoyingly rainy? especially for punahou carnival... which is good, cuz we don't need to support them by going. ha just kiddin. so anyways, it started lightninging too. which is physics! somethin i actually know in physics too, shocker. ha punny. so itz created because of charges between the clouds and the earth. like ur hand and a doorknob, the charges jumps through the air, and a shock is formed. cooooooooolllllll...................
