Dispositive motion

Although Alan Turing and Emilie Du Chatelet were from distinctive eras, they shared interests in the field of mathematics and science which led to achievements such as, providing the foundation of modern computing and the successful translation of Newton's book Principia to French, respectively. These historical figures encountered differences in limitations, influence from political climate, and love. Considering the evidence, each individual was successful even with such influences.…

had developed the theory of gravitation. He had also come up with ideas about the diffraction of light. In 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis”, often known as the “Principia”. Scientists say it is the most influential book on physics and, in fact, of all science. Newton’s Three Laws of Motion…

Woolsthorpe, England the same year Galileo died Newton only lived 85 years. Isaac Newton was established physicist and mathematician, and is credited as one of the great minds of the 17th century Scientific Revolution. With discoveries in optics, motion and mathematician, Newton developed the principles of modern physics.Isaac Newton was one of the greatest scientist and mathematician that ever lived. Isaac Newton was raised by his grandmother. He attended Free Grammar School and then went on to…

improved tremendously the reflecting telescope during college. Once graduated, Newton sought life in physics, math, and forces. Newton's studies centered on Math, calculus, and physics. Newton is the most famous for development of the three laws of motion. Newton's second law states force equals mass times…

Using physics, we can calculate the mass of a bolt fired from a blaster used in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. First of all, we know that these bolts are not lasers based on two facts: they can be seen from the side and they do not travel at the speed of light. Thus, from there, we have to find their velocity. Rhett Allain calculated that to be about 35 m/s. He did this by finding distance and time of various bolts fired throughout the series, dividing the two measurements, and averaging out all…

Newton's first law explains why objects move. Newton's first law states that “An object at rest remains at rest, or if in motion, remains in motion at a constant velocity unless acted on by a net external force.” It cannot get much simpler than Newton's law. Objects will only move if there is force acted upon the object. The most important of the three laws is the second. Newton's second…

to the rate of change of angular velocity. Depending on the direction in which an object such a platter is rotation the angular acceleration could be pointing toward or away the observer, in this lab we are going to be investigating the rotational motion for which a dish undergoes. For this experiment we are going to be testing three spindles with different radius. According to the author, in this experiment we are going to be applying Newton’s second law which is Linear: Fy=T-mg=ma and Angular…

Often described as being “one of the greatest names in the history of human thought,” Sir Isaac Newton was an English astronomer, scientist, and mathematician (Domski 1). His discoveries dealing with optics, gravity, and math greatly influenced the world and the effects are lasting still today. Sir Isaac Newton, though widely remembered for his mathematics and scientific accomplishments, was a man of God, whose faith can clearly be seen throughout his life. Newton was born on Christmas day in…

1.a What is science? Science. What is it, and why exactly is it important? Well, sit back, and let me explain. Once upon a time, a guy named Isaac Newton, was sitting underneath an apple tree reading some book that he must have found amusing, when suddenly – an apple falls down, and hits his head. This made Isaac think: What gave the apple the power to fall down? Why didn’t it go up, or sideways? And then he wondered: Why do I fall back down, whenever I jump? After thinking about for a couple of…

DISCUSSION OF RESULTS: Answer the following Questions: 1. How did changing the angle of the slope affect the acceleration of the object? Use information from the summary table and/or graph. According to our data, the larger that the slope was, the faster the acceleration of the object was. Although, this was not the same for the 30° angle and the 40° angle. This may have occurred due to an error in recording the data or a bad ticker timer being used. 2. What forces are acting on the object…
