If only you just knew...

The summer classes is about to end, but this heart of mine is not stopping from falling in love of a guy who in the first moment that I saw him, there is this kind of unexplained feeling that I overwhelmingly feel for him. And that if he just only knew...

I thought that I could not fall in love again after a heartbreak for almost 2 years now. He is actually a classmate in one of the subject that I took up this summer.

It is a kind of weird feeling that from the very first time that I saw him, my heart never stops beating "in-love" with him. He is just so humorous and extraordinary from the rest. It comes from the very fact that there is a sort of similarity that he has with my ex-boyfriend. That is why, everytime I look at him, his actions and ways reminds me of my past "love".

I feel so excited to go to school especially when it is Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. That days are our class' meet.

It is unplanned but we are of the same group. There was once a group activity that we had and all of us take charge of doing something for the accomplishment of our assigned task. He is the anchor man and I am the field reporter. But I make the script of our newscast presentation.

There was a moment when he requested me to comment on his performance before the final presentation, that moment when we were having our practice, only the two of us. But I just kept myself silent and mutual as if there is nothing so pounding in my heart that fastly beats. There, I come to have a crush on him more.

We both have the chance of communication which we don't do it usually in the classroom. But I know that I should not expect more because I know that he has already a girlfriend. That constant texting probably mean that his girlfriend keeps on texting him in the class.

I never took tight feeling of love because I know that if I let myself feel totally in-love with him (though it is just secret), I know that I will be hurt because this feeling I have felt is really "love", I guess.

I hope that we can see each other again in the huge campus. I hope that we can be classmates again. If he just only knew how much I like him. But I guess this is just a time of my life that will just pass by.

I was feeling sad that our class for the Health Education just end this afternoon. I don't know if I can see him again in the open-wide campus. I just hope that he is okay and well.

How to get the Speed?

In Physics, it deals more on the objects at rest or in motion. But when we want to know the way objects move by getting its speed, the formula is:

speed = distance traveled/time  (/ sign is division operation)

Speed is the distance traveled divided by time taken. Remember that speed is a scalar which has no direction. The car's speedometer measures how fast the car is moving but it does not give its direction. Whether the car is going in a circle or along a straight line, it makes no difference.

Let us take this sample problem:

Lisa too her to travel at 3.0 h of a distance of 120 km/h to reach her grandmother's house. What is the average speed?

speed = 120 km/3.0 h = 40 km/h

The result doesn't necessarily mean that Lisa's car was  moving at this speed. It simply indicates that she sometimes went faster and sometimes slower than this.

Problems for you to solve as a sort of an Exercise

1. A 400-m dash at a certain school is run by making two laps around a 200-m oval track. A runner takes 70 s to run 400 m. What is her average speed?

2. From London to Athens is 2,500 airline km. What speed must an airplane have to make the trip in 3.0 h?

3. The distance from earth to moon is 385,000 km. A typical flight to the moon takes about 64 h. What is the average speed of the spaceship?

4. In 1970, the Indianapolis 500 ways won by Al Lender. He traveled the 500 miles in 3 h 13 min. What was his average speed?

5. The orbital distance around the earth for spaceship is about 43,000 kn. The time taken for the orbiting ship to make one past around the earth is about 92 minutes. What is the average speed of the ship during one pass?
