    with his telescope, he observed Jupiter’s four major moons on multiple occasions and found that they seemed to orbit Jupiter instead of the Earth. He disproved the Aristotelian theory with many experiments. His most famous experiment being his law of motion experiment in which Galileo got a musket ball and a cannonball and launched them off of the Leaning Tower of Pisa. Both balls landed close to the same time; the musket ball hit the ground a small portion of a second later due to air…

    forces balance out the forces between it and the ruler, the kinetic forces create friction which causes the object to slow down and the magnetic forces help move the ball from a distance so it speeds towards the magnet. We know that based on our motion graphs ball A accelerates to the magnet hitting it so the magnets and balls A-D are recoiled backwards. The ball is also going under energy transformations where when the ball does not start moving it has potential energy then the potential…

    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”.…

    Newton’s contributions during the scientific Revolution. The example given was the creation of the constitution and how a bicameral system (Senate and House of Representatives) was formed by John Adams. John Adams used the idea of Newton’s third law of motion by stating that each action must have an equal and opposite reaction. Although this example might not be science-based, it portrays the significance of Sir Isaac Newton’s achievements and how they can be used in almost every way of life.…

    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…
