Gravity

From a young age I’ve always had dreams, goals, and things I wanted to accomplish. My very first dream started out at the age of 6 when I saw my best friend’s new golden retriever puppy and I decided right then and there that I just had to have one for myself. It become an obsession. That puppy was the only thing I could talk about, dream about, and I just knew that I couldn’t live my life without it. I would consistently beg my dad for that precious puppy and he would always give me the…

They believe that Flat Earth accelerates upwards at 32 feet per second squared and that “gravity” is actually Earth going up so fast that is catches up with us when we jump. Flat-earthers believe photos of the globe are photoshopped; GPS devices are rigged to make airplane pilots think they are flying in straight lines around a sphere when they…

kicked up with the force to go over the opponents head this will form an upside parabola shaped arch. When the ball hits its highest point , which is the max point, the velocity is zero and then the ball starts to descend back down this is due to gravity acting on the ball , by this point there will be a player waiting to catch it with their body. The same projectile concept is invoveled when players do throw- ins which happen when the ball is kicked out of…

During the 1960 Democratic Nomination Convention, candidate John F. Kennedy referred to space as the “New Frontier,” and ever since astronomers have ardently pushed the boundaries of space exploration . Nowadays, many look to push the boundaries of this frontier by focusing on Earth’s nearest planet, Mars, and in particular astronomers have researched the possibility of a manned missions to Mars. This proposal seriously began with Wernher von Braun, the first person to conduct a detailed…

Something from Nothing: The Big Bang Even though the equal balance of matter and antimatter created in the beginning of the universe as proposed by the Big Bang theory might have annihilated each other before any stars could form, the inflation model of the Big Bang accounts for the unequal level of matter-antimatter existing today and how stars could form before matter-antimatter reactions destroyed the universe. The existence of the Cosmic Microwave Background Radiation (CMBR). is in line…

amount of moons, rings, temperature, gases, and also unique name. Neptune was discovered in the 1800s due to astronomers observing Uranus. Uranus’s placement wasn't exactly where they thought it was. They determined that there was another planet’s gravity pulling on Uranus. On September 23, 1846, the newly discovered planet was named after the Roman god of the seas, Neptune. The three founders of planet were astronomers Urbain Leverrier, Johann Gottfried Galle, and John Couch Adams. Before…

cross-channel invasion. This was the tipping point when the strategy changed from the Sun Tzu philosophy of the British to the Clausewitzian approach of the American’s. The new plan became one focused on a decisive attack against Germany’s center of gravity; the Third Reich. “Tehran was the decisive conference for the European strategy.” It set the final strategy for an Allied victory in Europe where Germany would be strangled by an Anglo-American advance in the west and a Soviet drive in…

Introduction Gravity is a natural force that is the result of various distributions of matter and energy throughout the universe. All objects have gravitational pulls but as an object becomes more massive, its gravitational pull increases and takes precedence over the gravitational pulls of other smaller objects as demonstrated by the solar system in which Earth resides. Earth’s moon rotates around Earth due to Earth’s gravitational pull while Earth rotates around the sun due to the sun’s…

optics, physics and astronomy. People believe that it was during this time Isaac was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head, causing him to discover the law of gravity. The more truthful version of this story is that Isaac saw an apple fall from a tree and that is what caused him to discover the law of gravity. (“Sir Isaac Newton: The Universal Law of Gravitation”,…

SCORPIUS Scorpius, also known as Scorpio. Its name is Latin for Scorpion. It lies between Libra to the west and Sagittarius to the east. Scorpius is a large constellation in the southern hemisphere near the centre of the Milky Way. In Greek mythology, Scorpion was sent by Artemis, the goddess of hunting and her mother, Leto, to protect all the creatures since Orion said that he would kill all the creatures on the earth. After a battle, Scorpion killed Orion. Later, Zeus sent Scorpion into…
