75 Big Questions/Big Answers

For the video, are we supposed to submit notes, or 'big questions/answers?'

Why doesn't the moon fall if the apple does?
-the moon is affected by the gravity, but since it is so far away and travelling at such a high speed, its momentum keeps it in orbit.

How does radium emit energy if it doesn't have a source of energy?
-energy comes in packets called quanti
-however, lots of uncertainty

-Galilei Galileo - testing by experimentation
-falling rate of items w/ different mass
-Newton-Law of Universal Gravitation
-all objects have gravitational pull
-Laws of Motion
-SEcond Law of Thermodynamics
-Rudolf Klauseus-in energy exchange, some energy will always be lost
-Magnetic fields-Michael Faraday
-used magnetic field to create electricity
-James Clerk Maxwell
-Albert Einstein Special Theory of RElativity
- Says that space + time are not constant
-e=mc squared
-Quantum Theory Max Plunk
-Marie Curie had radium, which glowed without apparent source of energy
-lots of uncertainty, weird principles, electrons at both place at same time
-Newton had 1st theory of light-particle properties Corpuscular Theory
-Young showed light has wave properties
-Einstein said light has both qualities
-Nucleus
-one equperiment in whcih alpha particles were shot at gold foil
-expected it to go through
-but some where deflected
-due to the very dense nucleus
-superconductivity-Dutch scientist created liquid helium
-found resistance lowered as it became colder
-~4 degrees above absolute zero, resistance of the mercury was zero
-called superconductivity
-goal is to find superconductors at room temperature
-Quarks-Murray Gell-Mann
-proposed that neutrons/protons were made of quarks
-later proved to be true,
-experiment was like an electron microscope picture of nucleus
-3 quarks
-Theory of everything
-theory unifying S/WNF+EM is really bad
-extremely 'ugly' relative to theories of gravity

Remember before, when I was becoming apathetic towards marks?
Well, I sort of still am, but I just remembered the goals I sort of made last year. One of them included getting good marks (well, it was a lot more specific and in-depth than that, but I'm not going to go into it). So, now I have to start caring again. And I need to care now, because my marks are dropping.
As of a couple of days ago, I had an A in English, Science, Math, Japanese, and French for sure, with hopefully an A in Applied Skills and Socials, and most likely a B in PE. But now, it seems that I only have an A right now in Japanese, and the Science A is in jeopardy. Actually, the fate of the Japanese A is yet to be decided, because I have the by far biggest test this term next week.
Why?
Well, I didn't do my homework for French, which resulted in me getting a 1/10 on the homework check. That is scarily low. Homework is most likely worth at the very least 10% of the mark. which means that I have to get at the very least 94.1% or so, maybe more to get an A. Ugh. And the Unit 1 test is coming up, and with the amount of tests that I have, I dont' think I'll do well on any.
With English, the memory book is seriously wrecking my chances of getting an A. Mr. Hauck said that our memory book could be as plain as we wanted it to be, and NL asked him if he was going to give extra marks for making it prettier, and he said no. Well, being as naive as I was, trusted him, and turned up with four sheets of paper in a folder. It was very plain. Then, on the day that it was due, he said that he was going to mark us on creativity, which includes the format (in this case, folder) that it was in. There goes 4 marks. Then, another 4 marks were based on whether or not it was edited and refined. Mine wasn't. I thought that, since it was a memory book, it should be based on raw memories, and I don't refine my memories. Ugh. I will never ever trust Mr. Hauck again when it comes to things like this.
In math, well, I've taken it for granted that I won't get an A. Its a bit of disappointing, especially after I knew that I was getting an A after the first test. If I didn't know that, I wouldn't be disappointed. But, now, we had a quiz and a test, and I did poorly on both. On the first one (the quiz), I got an absolutely borderline B. It was 72.9 something %. On the test, I couldn't finish two problem solving questions, both worth at the very least 2 marks each, and 4 scantron questions (hopefully only 1 mark each). That means 6 marks gone forever. Which means that, if I got 100 % on everything else, the test must be out of at least 42 marks. Which it is not. I remeber there being 17 scantron questions, 5 problem solving questions, 6 other questions worth possibly 2 marks, and 2 questions worth possibly 1 mark. Okay, so that is 41 marks. Hm. Maybe, just maybe. But I have never EVER gotten a 100% on any math unit test in high school. Even when I was in Grade 8 regular, my highest was something like 95%. And that only happened once. What chance do I have of 100% in Math 9E?
In Japanese, to prepare for the test next week, I have to memorize 100 characters, and a dozen of other terms and such. Terms I might be able to squeeze an A (just barely), but the characters are a lost cause. In three months, I have only memorized about 25. Now I have to memorize 75 in 3 days.

I feel the stress coming right now.

Sigh.
