Gravitation

The escape velocity of Mars is eleven thousand two hundred and fifty-two miles per hour whereas Earth’s is twenty-five thousand and thirty miles per hour. This makes it harder to escapes earths gravitation pull than it would be to escape Mars’. This would make sense due to Mars having a smaller gravitation pull than Earth. Mars is roughly half of the size of Earth, this is the reason as to why the gravitational pull of Mars is less than…

my course. I used to think that creativity was the key of invention but from the beginning of this course, it showed that I was wrong. Creativity is also the path of discovery. The scientific examples for instance, universal gravitation,Newton's law of universal gravitation, could let me understand more about the…

Eggs are the most fragile thing you can find, one drop and they will break. What can we do to protect the egg from breaking when it falls? First, there are many factors that affect the egg when it falls. The factors are momentum, air resistance, pressure, gravity, and angular momentum. The first factor is Momentum; it is the product of the mass and velocity of an object. “P” is the 3D vector stating the object’s momentum in 3 directions of 3D space. Where “V” is the 3D velocity vector giving the…

Comet landing has been one of the greatest achievement of this century, but only a select few know about the design of this remarkable spacecraft ‘Rosetta’ which made all this possible. When I looked up about this spacecraft in Wikipedia I was highly disappointed by the amount of specification provided for the design and construction of this spacecraft. Furthermore, this incredible achievement of landing a probe on a comet has been a subject of hot topic in the media so I thought many people…

Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician and physicist. He discovered the laws of motion and gravity. He was born on January 4,1643, but sometimes it is declared as December 25,1642 if you use the old Julian calendar. Isaac was born in Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, where he attended school in his younger years. At school when he was younger, Isaac was unmoved by literature and poetry, but found an interest in mechanics and technology. His mother had wanted him to run the family farm,…

Enlightenment Era The Enlightenment Era was a period in the 1600-1800s where educated Europeans changed the way they looked at life to see enlightenment which was progress. Another name for this era was Age of Reason. This era challenged not only the way you look at life but your beliefs. The philosophers in this time period wanted to use ideas not only for the scientific revolution but to find and solve the problems within government and society. Europeans changed the outlook on not only life,…

happens by accident." - Chuck Knox. Even with a careful plan, Isaac Newton, the world-renowned scientist, was the founder of the theory of gravity. He was inspired when he was hit by an apple fallen from a tree and came up with an idea of gravitation. After that, he had to do large amounts of scientific calculation to prove his opinion and planned to express his idea in words. In other words, the creating of a theory involved planning. But planning did not stop Newton from creativity and…

J. Robert Oppenheimer had a very interesting life that undoubtedly influence his works in science. He was born on April 22, 1904 in New York City, New York. The Oppenheimers were Ashkenazi Jews. In his childhood, J. Robert Oppenheimer moved to Manhattan. Early on, Oppenheimer attended Alcuin Preparatory School. However, in 1911, he switched and began attending the Ethical Culture Fieldston School. His family was a part of the Ethical Culture Society. The Ethical Culture Society was an outgrowth…

Creativity is a fundamental characteristic of entrepreneurs. The link between business teaching, creativity and entrepreneurs has been widely studied on the last years both from the academics and business perspective. However, there is a gap in the research of the link between social entrepreneurship and creativity, specifically in teaching creativity to entrepreneurs. Therefore my research aims to determine the influence of creativity in the development of social entrepreneurs. The overall…
