Archemetes the War Hero William Catanese Archimedes is considered one of the most known mathematicians, physicists, engineers, and inventors of ancient times. Although much of his life is unknown, he is still a great contributor to mathematics, in which he did modern calculus and associated mathematics to physical occurrences, Founding Hydro statistics, which include an exclamation of the principle of the liver. Archimedes has also originated an exact number for pie, explaining the spiral it's…

Egg Drop The egg drop project was a way to see nature’s effect on itself for example, how an egg can survive a fall? It combine a majority aspect of physics, Velocity (both initial and final), Acceleration, Displacement, and Time to find how fast the egg within the vessel will go when drop from the top of a rail in the back of the school. Initial Velocity will determine the speed the egg left its initial position, the final velocity will determine the speed of the egg before crashing,…

The Magnet Cannon is a perplexing object to understand how the forces work, in this explanation I will explain how the forces and energy in the magnet cannon work. The purpose of the magnet cannon is to help show how kinetic and magnetic forces work. The magnet Cannon is an object composed of 5 balls a ruler and a magnet. One of the balls is placed on one side of the magnet (ball A), then the other 4 balls (balls B-D) go on the other side of the magnet, then the contraption is placed on a ruler.…

Newton’s three laws of motion essay Isaac Newton was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and natural philosopher who lived in the 17th century. One of his accomplishments was coming up with three laws of motion that can be used to explain how and why stuff move. These laws that Newton came up with are still used today. Newton’s first law of motion states that “an object in motion will stay in motion, and an object at rest will stay at rest unless an unbalanced force acts on it”.…

Come cool off with a new roller coaster. Cat Dipper technology created the fastest , tallest and the scariest roller coaster in the world . It has 3 loops, the largest drop hill ever , and it goes through water . Cat dipper holds 32 riders .The cars are designed to be the safest over-the-shoulder restraints that keep the passengers in their seats. Cat Dipper is the world’s incredible roller coaster, which reaches an amazing top speed of 104 mph. The drop hill is 465 feet tall. The…

The Role of Religion in the Life of Sir Isaac Newton Isaac Newton has been heralded as one of the greatest minds that ever lived and is arguably the most brilliant mind of the 17th century; his accomplishments in math and science advanced the understanding of the natural world and served as a foundation for future exploration. Such a portrait of Newton, painted mainly through the eyes of contemporary scientists, leaves an indelible impression that Newton was a simple scientist, albeit a…

In the photo, a baseball is being hit by a bat in a game. This photo was taken at a Gonzaga baseball game on campus (I used a profession photo because they are way better and a second photo is used to show the moment of contact which is what I am talking about). In terms of the physics in the photo. The focus of this paper will be on the energy transfer from the bat to the ball, which causes the ball to reverse directions, increase velocity, and create a launch angle to potentially be a…

olas Gurski Dr. John Hepp History 101 June 10, 2016 Sir Isaac Newton and his Involvement in the Scientific Revolution Sir Isaac Newton, a renowned scientist known for a multitude of discoveries and inventions, was a critical factor in the Scientific Revolution. Sir Isaac Newton may not have made his contributions to the scientific revolution “from scratch,” he instead used prior discovered knowledge and made his own improved hypotheses which he later proved through experimentation. The…

Knighted Newton The chapter titled, Knighted Newton, is about famous mathematician and physicist, Sir Isaac Newton. Newton’s name is recognized by almost everyone today due to his math and scientific studies. In the world of mathematics he is known for creating the calculus. However, there are a few people who would disagree with that. Some people would argue that, Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz is the man who created calculus and because of that there was a dispute that happened between the two…

Projectiles, such as the ones shot from cannons, are affected by drag or air resistance. The amount of drag exerted on to an object is affected by many different factors, such as air density and the size of the projectile. It is important to understand drag, as it affects the distance an object is able to travel if it is not influenced by outside forces, such as a cannons projectile. The equation for drag is shown below. F=pCA/2 v^2 p = The density of the air. C = The drag coefficient of the…
