Courtney Heemsoth Physics 1030 Research Paper Johannes Kepler How does Johannes Kepler continue to influence the world of mathematics and physics? Johannes Kepler did so by creating what is known as the laws of planetary motion which help explain the motion of planets which orbit around the sun. His discoveries were a breakthrough for this time period which occurred between 1571-1630. This was so shocking to the public because no one was able to explain the planets and the orbits in this time…

Do you ever wonder who comes up with the material we learn at school, such as physics? I know, I do! I’m pretty sure you do to. Not only has this changed the way we learn at school but as well as changing out history of math and physics. Galileo, made experiments to which we could advance from them later on in the future. Well we can thank Galileo, for coming up with the solution to our problems. However, Galileo was basically trying to find the speed of two different objects falling at the same…

Through my four years in high school, one of the toughest classes I faced was AP biology. The rigorous course involved an intense 48 chapter lesson plan with a 2 hour AP exam at the end of the school year. Near the end of my junior, I was skeptical of taking this class, as I heard from my fellow classmates that the class was difficult to earn a decent grade. With this in mind, I began preparing for the class over the summer by reading the textbook, and practicing using the workbook. As I…

The naturalism literary period started in the late 1800s, around 1880, and ended sometime in the 1900s. Émile Zola was a well-known supporter of naturalism and was a novelist. Along with Zola, Jack London also supported naturalism and was a naturalistic writer. The Naturalistic writers studied the actions and responses of human beings, which is known as our instinct. In the short story “To Build a Fire,” Jack London incorporated the beliefs of naturalism, which included the instinct to survive,…

Newton A man so dedicated to his work, he stayed single all of his life. Sir Isaac Newton was a brilliant man and he strived to make a better future for the world in science. Newton had a quality life growing up and was able to give back to science as he got older. Newton's life from a child to an adult, accomplished so much starting with his childhood. Isaac Newton was born on Christmas Day, 1642, at Woolsthorpe, a village in southwestern Lincolnshire, England. His father died two months…

Johannes Kepler had an unique life which had many peaks and many valleys, he was born December 27,1571. His childhood was very rough because his parents were very poor and he was a sickly child. Their family had no money for medicine and his illness. Fortunately his intelligence bought him a scholarship to a very nice college. he first wanted to become a theologian. He studied for it but thought that it would be one of his hobbies instead. Then he decided he wanted to become a mathematics…

challenged. As Albert Einstein, a German theoretical-physicist, introduced his theory of relativity, time became another phenomenon and mostly likely, acquired more definitions. In addition, Einstein’s suspicion not only changed the studies of science and physics but even art and literature. Pericles Lewis explains in his Cambridge Introduction to Modernism that Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity transformed the modernist conception of time’s linear progression into the notion…

Newton’s Laws Sir Isaac Newton created his three laws in 1686 when he was only 43 years old. The three laws that he created were, 1) An object in motion stays in motion and an object at rest stays at rest unless acted on by an outside force. 2) F=ma, and 3) Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Without these three laws there would be a huge misunderstanding in how things move, rise, and fall. Every time you hit a ball or bounce on a trampoline you are using one of Newton’s three laws…

My favorite relative is my Pap. He weighs a solid 170 pounds and is in very good shape for his age. Even though he's older, you would never guess that he's 60, which he just turned on July 17th. He's always at the gym working out, or with my family and I. It's not just his outgoing personality but the way is fun and how he still is very energetic. He has a mustache and always tickles us kids with it when he kisses us. I can always tell it is him by the way he walks, his legs curve out a bit and…

shows like Mythbusters and penn or Teller . These TV shows have always been a fascination and excitment to me . While other people of my age did not like to study science or to take AP courses . I always accepted the challenges from Calculus and AP physics and worked hard to achieve the best of me . I realised that i had a passion for aicraft when i was in the eighthy grade My dad had decided to accompany me after i had been sick . It was my first of school since i…
