Jordan Holley Trowbridge has made a big impact on my life. She is kind, loving, patient, generous, supportive, achiever, humorous, amazing friend, phenomenal braider, and outdoorsman.

I met her a few years ago at a church service project at a local elementary school soccer day camp. Jordan and I were…

stormtrooper and did not instead bounce off of him. We can also assume that the trooper started at rest, making his initial velocity zero. This shortens the formula down to m1v1i=(m1+m2)v2f, with m1 referring to the bolt and m2 referring to the stormtrooper. Now all we have to find is the recoiling speed and the mass of the stormtrooper. To find the recoiling speed, Allain used the average velocity formula, estimating the time the trooper was in the air for and the horizontal distance traveled.…

After I went right the little car behind us went left. the car was not a state trooper, it was a regular car, it was a “Kia” which made no sense to why they were following us. The whole time we that we were getting followed we thought it was the troopers. But really it must have been some teenagers just like us playing a joke on us. When I decided I was going to turn around and find them they were already gone, it…
