why is physics so important???

Question

i don't care on how the friggin earth moves!!!
why should i learn this if im not going to use it in my life????
grrrrr!

i got a B and i think i hate my teacher
he gave me a 0 for a test that i took and passed!
grrr!

my own teacher told us that WE WOULD NOT USE PHYSICS THE REST OF OUR LIVES!!!!
tell me if he's a good teacher?!?!?!?!
and why would i want to calculate the acceleration of something?????
how exactly do i use all this formulas in my every day life!?!?!?!?

Answer 1

You are not going to use physics.... really?

You are going to move a heavy piano/desk/what-ever... and there is no one to help. How are you going to do that? More importantly, how would you know what NOT to do, so something won't fail and kill you or injure you?

How would you answer.... when your future child asks, how come ?

I can go on... but let's not.

The most important thing is that in learning physics, math, or any other field in science teach you how to think. The fact they teach isn't all that important. You can always look up the facts. But, the thinking process you develop is invaluable. Without an ability to think and reason out things, facts will be useless. By developing your own thinking ability, you can learn to re-use your knowledge.

Yes, you need to learn those "stuff." It will come in handy in many places that you don't expect. Sad part is, you won't know what you are missing later in your life, IF you don't learn it now.

Answer 2

I didn't bother to pay attention in woodwork at school because I didn't plan on a career as a carpenter. Now I regret that I can't do simple handyman jobs. Physics is the most fundamental science. A decent scientific education makes life interesting because you understand a little of how things work, it makes it harder for quacks, faith healers and religious nuts to con you and, increasingly, everybody needs some knowledge of maths, electronics and physics just to function, in any line of work.

Answer 3

so u dont become an ignorant idiot

depending on ur career, u may not use a physics equation for the rest of ur life....but if u take physics, u'll know why a bowling ball and a baseball dropped from equal heights will land at the same time, u'll know how to use simple machines like pulleys, incline planes to reduce the work load on urself, u'll know why it's easier to move an object that's already moving compared to a stationary object, ull know why some objects float on water while others sink, u'll know why and how airplanes fly

basically u will know how and why everything u use everyday works the way they do
and that kind of knowledge greatly increases ur intelligence

Answer 4

Walking = Physics.
Typing = Physics.
Running = Physics.
Sports= Physics.
Earth = Physics.
Everything (about) involves some form of physics.

Answer 5

Don't hate your teacher, Physics is one of the laws of science and intrical part of the fluid motion we call life!

Answer 6

I got a D in physics...

with exception of my GPA, it hasn't changed my life at all...

Answer 7

Maybe you don't need it, I never took it in high school. But then again, I wasn't given the chance.

Answer 8

You use physics in your life everyday...

Answer 9

I use physics every day...
