Honors Physics - "Pale Blue Dot"

Carl Sagan used this picture, taken from Voyager to talk about the future of human kind and to speculate on the porbabilities of extraterrestrial life, water on other planets and moons, collisions with asteroids, etc. This book of a fabulous 'read'. Sagan was a master story teller whose fundamental understanding of science is unparalleled. Check the following click to get more on this amazing scientist.

For you blog response prepare some of you reflections on the first two chapters of "Pale Blue Dot". You may be completely subjective and blatantly emotional or you may be stoic and stuffy. Either way talk good science or philosophy. Post one or two paragraphs and, of course, respond to at least one of your classmates comments.

AP Physics - Electrostatic Force

Assume that the pith ball and the balloon have the same amount of charge. Discuss the arrangement of the charges on each object, i.e., how close are the charges and what determines their arrangement.

Also, if they both (the pith ball and the balloon) have the same amount of charge, which one has the highest electric potential? Explain your answer.

Remember to include at least one reference source in your response. Also, you must sign your response with your real first name. If there is more than one of you, you must include your last initial, e.g., Joe B. Also remember to respond to one of your classmates responses.

Go for it.

Look who's talkin'...

OK...this blog is going to be open ended...Browndog Studio is a small recording studio run by an old musician. I would like to talk music...i.e., recording, playing, instruments, styles...I am an R&B/jazz player with four CD's out over the last 20 or so years...

But I also enjoy sports...go Gators, go Patriots and go Red Sox (but I will never let you break my heart again...it took much to long to win that one world series)...politics...and science...I am also a chemistry and physics teacher...there is a lot to talk about...Einstein...Coltrane...Steely Dan...let me know...

This is a blog for Browndog Studio...named after the late Louis T. Brown...
