PHYS 1010 Taught by Professor Janalee Harrison

Reflection
This class was a good class. I learned a lot of very interesting things.
For the paper due at the end of this class we were required to find and article
about a natural disaster and take 5 different ideas, laws, or principles we
learned in this class and analyze the events of a natural disaster from a
perspective using these 5 different applications.
The paper supported what I learned in class because we were looking
at a real even that occurred on this earth where all the laws and ideas we
learned in class apply. It was very helpful to look at a natural disaster from a
physics perspective because it helps you realize and understand a lot more
what goes on here on earth. Like with an earth quake learning about
frequencies helped me understand why the effects of an earthquake are so
drastic.
From doing this assignment it taught me to look at the things that
going on around me with a physics perspective. It kind of sheds a new light
on things. When you think of how different things work like running water in
the house for example. The reason the water comes out of the tap instead of
just staying there in the pipes is because of the pressure from the water
behind it and all the way back to the mountains. Thats one of the many
ways Ive learned to look at different life occurrences from a physics
perspective.
