Introductory physics

Do you have contacts or glasses? Do you cook food on a stove? Benjamin Franklin had created these ideas of the purpose of what they do. He had made a huge contribution to the world with his many inventions and writings. He was born on January 17, 1706 and died on April 17, 1790. Franklin contributed to tons of things in his lifetime. These things just are improved with today’s technology, but they ideas of what goes on is still here. Benjamin Franklin had made adjustments to the world that some…

Mathematica” (Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy), which set the three laws of motion and the law of universal gravity. This was set to be the single most influential books on physics and all science, it is commonly known as Principia and contains information on mostly all the essential concepts of physics. Principia launched Newton to fame, eventually earning universal praise as one of the most important works of modern science. The work he created contains the three basic laws of…

On August 11 the world lost Howard Brody, a physics professor who worked at the University of Pennsylvania. He died at the age of 83 and left behind a series of findings that made him known as “the world’s foremost physicist of tennis,” as said by Margalit Fox in her NY Times article. Howard focused his professional work on particle physics until the size of a tennis racket caused him to investigate the sport even further. He was specifically curious about how the tennis ball would hit the…

This year I decided to challenge myself academically. I made the decision of taking four AP classes and math analysis so, to say the least it has been a difficult journey. In addition, out of all the classes I took I struggled the most with AP Chemistry. The material is pretty difficult to understand, even after spending a couple hours to review my notes some things would still be a little blurry. I was failing my test. I was failing my quizzes. I was failing at everything. It was a pretty…

primarily been in health science classes that will help me excel in a medical career, although I have taken science classes outside of this area. The classes I have taken so far are Honors Biology, Medical Science I, Animal Science, Honors Chemistry I, Physics and Human Body Systems. Next year I will be taking Anatomy and Physiology, a CNA classes offered through a local community college and either Honors Biology II or Honors Chemistry II.…

Each| scientist’s has had different accomplishments. Each are from different time periods as well. The scientist I am doing is Antoine Lavoisier. These are all the thing he has done for us and his background. Antoine was born in Paris, France. He was born On August 26, 1743. His mom died when Antoine was 5 sadly. His dad was a lawyer and Antoine wanted to follow in his dad’s footsteps. When he decided not to, he found that science was more interesting. When he got older, he got a wife named…

What is a natural high and why is it so important? A natural high can be defined as, “an excited state that is not due to the ingestion of drugs or another substance”. In this day and age, it is rarely heard that an individual achieved a high without the usage of drugs or any other artificial substance. The importance of reaching this excited state independently shows the inner strength and determination of a person. Although it takes more time and effort to achieve this mindset, the feeling is…

The world we know today would be extremely different if Sir Isaac Newton had never been alive or had never published his genius theories. Even today, Newton is still praised for his incredible studies and workings in the area of physics of the universe and calculus. During the time Newton was alive, it seemed as if no human mind could ever begin to detangle and determine any of his findings. He lived in a small village as a child with his mother and stepfather. In his youth, Newton supposedly…

laws of motion (biography.com). Using his three laws of Motion, Newton was able to prove how gravity holds the planets in orbit, as well as how the moon causes the tides; due to that, Principia is now considered the most influential book in all of physics, as reported by biography.com. Newton’s discoveries greatly contributed to science, and he is now considered to be one of the most influential scientists and mathematicians of all…

Science has always intrigued me, even as a young child. I have always excelled in the science classes, compared to any of my other classes. Biology, in particular, is something that I see as a challenge to understand a deeper level of the world around us. I always wondered what made up the human body, animals, plants, and more. What is the specimen made of? How does it function? There are tons of questions that I can ask in biology, and the results are forever endless. As I move on to college,…
