Introductory physics

Cornerstone Ranch and Rescue, I learned that physics could be applied to any aspect of everyday life. This has helped me solidify my understanding of physics and eager to learn more. The realization of how physics is everywhere has sparked my interest to want to learn more physics in order to get a better understanding of how and why the world works the way it does. The property owner related many concepts of horseback riding and ranch work with physics-related ideas so that I could relate…

Hypatia was the earliest female mathematician. She was born 350 CE and died 415 CE. This makes her about 65 years of age. She was the daughter of Theon. He was a mathematician and an astronomer. Theon is most known for his preservation of Euclid’s Elements. Additionally, he is known for his writing and comments on Ptolemy’s books, Almagest and Handy Tables. Theon influenced Hypatia greatly; she continued his program. This program was to preserve mathematical and astronomical Greek heritage in…

As long as I can remember I have always had a passion for science. I have always been curious about the why and how of things, and have been fascinated with exploring all there is to know about the Earth. Science is such a complex subject, with many different areas and fields of study, there is always more to learn. When I was younger I remember being excited to join my first Science Olympiad team, and have the opportunity to aggrandize my knowledge about the different fields of science in a…

Einstein and Isaac Newton, both intelligent, driven, revolutionary scientists who changed the way we look at the world. Their advancements science can still be felt in our everyday lives. Both Newton and Einstein made equal contributions to modern physics and mathematics, with Einstein building upon Newton’s theories, impacting the world today. Isaac Newton, born December 25th 1642 (January 4th 1643 depending on the calendar) in Woolsthorpe in Lincolnshire England. He was the only son of a…

Do you remember in school when you were sitting in math class and you were wondering to yourself, “when am i ever going to use this stuff in life”? Well here is your answer. You need math in most of the higher level jobs that you could get into. Especially in Pharmaceutical Science. A Pharmaceutical Scientist is a career that focuses on the way medicines will interact with the organism taking it. Most pharmaceutical scientist spend their days in a laboratory testing these interactions. To become…

The video understanding the universe, narrated by actress Candice Bergen, truly captured my attention. I found it very interesting because it explained very hard topics that were easy for me to understand. All the experts on the movie, used great examples to depict the unbelievable dimensions of the universe and its fascinating nature. I was able to look at the biggest telescopes on Earth, including the Hubble Space Telescope. Besides, I learned about stars, galaxies, clusters of galaxies, about…

Jesus Christ is the most influential person that has ever existed. This topic is arguable, but this why Jesus Christ is, without a doubt, the most influential person who has ever walked the earth. To begin, without Christ nothing in the universe or the universe itself would exist. He created everything. Another huge reason is, Christ’s ways and teachings are still taught and used today. In conclusion, He loved the world so much that he was willing to suffer a brutal death in order to save…

The study and understanding of physics, both classical and modern physics, are often difficult and sometimes, impossible to explain. Often times, the curious mind is told an answer that provokes three more questions than they had before. The ever growing questions about the universe all those who study physics have been brought about by both the expansive and incomprehensible size of our universe and the inability of the human brain to fully comprehend the world around us. Philosophers and…

Negative Energy Alec Li, Sydney Osugi Period 2, AP Physics  The term positive energy encompasses light, matter and antimatter. While positive energy is created through the collision of electrons and their positron counterparts, collisions with negative energy and matter result in nothing. Negative energy is the concept that there is a region of space that is able to “contain less than nothing … can be less than zero”(`Negative Energy'' Solutions: Hole Theory). The law of the conservation…
