 As one finds the willpower to wake up and get moving there is more
behind the scenes of getting out of bed then one might think. 
1, The Physics of rolling out of bed

    Despite the feeling of magnetism pulling one into the mattress, there are several forces keeping one in place. For instance the force of both gravity and the normal force if one is staying still and by the time the alarm goes off by the fifth time one has to roll out of bed. 



FORMULAS:   τ=Force(distance)

                             τ = (Radius vector) X (Force vector)

                      τ=Force(distance)       

       Which depending on one's own personal radius depends on the force of torque, "rotational equivalent of force". (Knight,2012). And as a rolling object, one might find a kinematics equations associated with the angular velocity of one's self. 

                       Angular momentum is a vector quantity, requiring the specification of both a                                    magnitude and a direction for its complete description. The magnitude of the angular                        momentum of an orbiting object is equal to its linear momentum (product of its                                mass m and linear velocity v) times the perpendicular distance r from the center of                          rotation to a line drawn in the direction of its instantaneous motion and passing                                through the object’s center of gravity, or simply mvr. (Britannica, 2015). 


2. The Physics of an Engine

    Finally out of bed, the feeling of unbearable cold hits so the need of a heater is needed, but in the worst case scenario a generator needs to be started up. In general terms a generator can be boiled down to the physics of an engine and the conservation of energy. 




FORMULAS:          Work (Out)= Q(Hot) - Q(cold)

                              η= 1- Q(Cold)/Q(Hot)

                            

                              P(1) * V(1) = P(2) * V(2) 

Which the first formula is about the work output of the engine and the second formula is the efficiency highest standard, the Carnot cycle and the third is the conservation of energy.
