Gravity

John Locke were significant pieces in the enlightenment by applying scientific notions and giving individuals the courage to break away from government. Isaac Newton came up with the scientific study that the universe was subjugated by the force to gravity, distance, and mass. This law started the beginning of other laws dealing with physics and astronomy such as infinite-series calculus and the spectrum of colors. This was a time of new ideas. The enlightenment began to influence educated…

both the proximity and mass of two relative objects increases the attraction present within them. "The Ocean's Tides Explained” article states that on Earth’s axis, the level of the ocean is centered by the centrifugal force pulling outward while gravity pulls inward. Since both forces are acting in different directions on the same object, it levels off. However, when the Moon’s gravitational force is added into the equation, the water facing the direction of the…

Galileo Galilei was an Italian astronomer, physicist, engineer, philosopher, and mathematician, who made a great impact in modern science. He was born in Pisa on February 15, 1564 during the Renaissance era. Many mark the era of the Renaissance, as a time where modern science truly came to it’s peaking point. The Renaissance and Scientific Revolution were responsible for the introduction to some to science’s greatest modern theories. Galileo Galilei was known as the “father of modern science”…

because it is up close and from the side. In the story of Adam and Eve, Eve seduces Adam into eating the fruit. The ad, showing a seductive nature, is doing the same thing, tricking the reader into buying the product. Directly in the ad it reads, “Defy Gravity.” By deliberately using the word, “defy” the ad is alluding to the Bible. Also, the simple clothes the woman is wearing could be related to how Adam and Eve did not have clothes until they ate the fruit from the tree and began to feel…

Massive Star : Any star that is larger than eight solar masses is a massive star. Massive stars are formed just like any other star. If a cloud dust a large it will create a Massive star. When it collects enough mass it begins to get under its own gravity. The Massive star will rise to a high temperature, when this happens it will be big and…

It begins with the buildup of pressure due to the Sun’s gravity. This gravity starts to pull the Sun’s mass in, creating a buildup of pressure. It then begins to start the early phases of nuclear fusion. The pressure that has now been created forces atoms of hydrogen to fuse together in nuclear reactions. The energy…

The center of gravity that General Petraeus needed to control was to persuade the Iraqi people they were to make the decisions once the Iraqi people elected their government through a popular vote. A decision point came when General Petraeus formulated a plan to select…

It was the second week of school junior year, in my third-period physics class. The bell rang shrilly, signaling the commencement of my own living hell. The teacher - a small, wiry man with a bit too much bite - sat in the back of the room. Grade book, and red pen in hand, he waited impatiently with a cold glare. The clock's ticking was loud in my ears and mixed with my rapid heartbeat. His eyes brushed down a list of names quickly and came to a sudden halt. With a glance toward me, he called me…

121 C.E. Marcus became Emperor in AD 161, initially alongside Lucius Versus. He became the sole Emperor in AD 169. Continual attacks meant that a lot of his reign was spent on campaign, especially in central Europe. It is important to realize the gravity of that position and the magnitude of power that Marcus possessed. He held one of, if not the most, powerful positions in the world. If he chose to, nothing would be off limits. He could indulge and succumb to temptations, and there was nobody…

Growing objects formed by accretion are called planetesimals. While small planetesimals come in a variety of shapes, large planetesimals are usually spherical due to the force of gravity. • Nebular Capture—occurs outside of the frost line, where icy planetesimals become large enough to capture hydrogen and helium. This leads to the formation of the larger planets. • Gas clearing by solar wind—the solar wind is a flow of charged…
