Description
With senior exams approaching and needing to achieve an 80 percent average in order to get into university and land his dream job, Oliver decides to get away from the chaos that is his home life. Fleeing to Sunny Haven Recreation and Leisure Center in a small coastal town, Oliver regrettably discovers that his new study space is home to an array of elderly citizens, all of whom have their own opinions on Oliver's life plans. With time and the help of the residents, Oliver's universe gradually expands as he learns to trust life's lessons and listen to his heart.

- Stress =Force/Area
- Weight = Mass x Gravity
- Impulse = Force x Time
- Newton's First Law of Motion:In the absence of a net force, a body isat rest or moves in a straight line withconstant speed.
- Refraction:The change in direction of a wave dueto a change of speed.
- Earth's gravity = 9.81 m/sec2
- Newton's Second Law of Motion:Force equals Mass x Acceleration(F = ma).
- Pascal's Principle:Pressure exerted anywhere in aconfined fluid is transmitted equally inall directions throughout the fluid.
- Any object, wholly or partiallyimmersed in fluid, is buoyed up by aforce equal to the weight of the fluiddisplaced by the object.(Archimedes of Syracuse)
- Newton's Law ofUniversal Gravitation:Every particle in the universe attractsevery other particle with a forcewhich is directly proportional to theproduct of their masses and inverselyproportional to the square of thedistance between them.
- The de Brogli Hypothesis:All matter, including light,has a wave-like nature.
- Wavelength is determined by velocitydivided by frequency ( l = v/ƒ).
- Kepler's First Law:The orbit of every planet is an ellipsewith the sun at a focus.
- Hooke's Law:The extension of an elastic spring islinearly proportional to its tension(F = kx).
- Ohm's Law:The current between two points isproportional to voltage and inverselyproportional to the resistance betweenthem (R = V/I).
- Newton's Third Law of Motion:For every action, there is an equal,opposite reaction.
- Einstein's Theory of Relativity:E = mc2
- Momentum = Mass x Velocity
- Energy cannot be created or destroyed,only changed from one type to another.
