Introductory physics

Isaac Newton is mainly known for his great achievements in science. But Isaac Newton was very involved with the Anglican Church and did support a lot of great things. We won't get to that just yet, let's start from the beginning where it all began. “On January 4, 1643, Isaac Newton was born in the hamlet of Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England (using the "old" Julien calendar, Newton's birth date is sometimes displayed as December 25, 1642)” (A&E Networks Television). Newtons dad passed away three…

Throughout the day I look forward to going to chemistry and understanding what we are learning. Chemistry continues to be fun even though there are sometimes challenges of not understanding it or getting confused. The labs in the classroom are incredibly interesting and never fail to amaze me I chose to pursue higher level coursework by taking AP Chemistry although it is challenging, I do not regret taking it. It showed me how rigorous and fascinating it is to learn about this science. Chemistry…

Describe the development of single dish radio telescopes and advantages of radio interferometers. Discuss major discoveries that were possible after detection of radio waves from space and how they changed our understanding of Universe. Astronomy is all about increasing our understandings about our Universe through observing objects like stars, galaxies and other bodies which exist outside Earth’s atmosphere. Astronomers make observations of these celestial phenomena by collecting…

became known as one of the greatest minds of the 17th century Scientific Revolution. He wrote about these discoveries by publishing a book called Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy. This book became known as the most influential book on physics. Newton’s father was a prosperous local farmer, also named Isaac Newton, and he died 3 months before his son was born. Newton was born prematurely and was not expected to survive. When he was 3 years old, his mother left him with his…

The summer before 6th grade, I was introduced to what would become one of the greatest passions I have in life: geology. This realization occurred while I visited the Grand Canyon and Garden of the Gods National Parks in the western United States. Consequently, while I explored these natural wonders, I found I wanted to discover and know the secrets these rocks held about their geological history, their specific formations, and other geological wonders such as the Tibetan Plateau and the Door to…

astronomers make a good bit of money, and also because I enjoy reading and learning about outer space. They increase our understanding of the universe, and our place in it. There are a number of skills needed for an astronomer. They need to be good at physics and math. Astronomers work a lot with computers so good computer and programming skills are helpful. Some build their own instruments that they use to work with, so those people who do so need to learn about electronics, materials…

edge of the stage, fizzling out as it spills into the crowded hall. The audience gasps in surprise and on-stage, Nobel Laureate Bill Phillips smiles as he continues to pour liquid nitrogen across the floor. Phillips, recipient of the Nobel prize in Physics in 1997 for his work cooling atoms with laser light and a member of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, stands in Bethel’s Benson Great Hall before a captivated audience. Phillips has worked as an experimental physicist for…

Albert einstein Albert Einstein was an immigrant. He was born March 14, 1879 in Ulm, Germany. According to the text, “ He was theoretical physicist for almost his entire life”. His dad was Hermann Einstein his mom was Pauline Einstein and his sister was Maja Einstein. Albert Einstein immigrated to the US on October 17, 1933. He immigrated because the appointment of adolf hitler as a chancellor took affect. Also he faced bad weather. He took…

Many cultures throughout history have referenced to distinct patterns in the sky formed by stars. These patterns have been called many things but now scientists refer to them as constellations. Often times in our society we forget what a privilege it is to have tracking tools and measuring devices but 5000 years ago they used these constellations to track time and be able to tell where they are. Constellations have been seen as specific animals or figures that are then told with myths. STILL…

Calculus was by far my hardest class during my senior year. During this year I felt that all my other classes got easier, except from math. I got a sense that I was going to breeze by senior year and so my work ethic dropped tremendously. However, I still knew I couldn’t let my grades drop for the first semester of senior year and I was able to get a B. After first semester, my other classes got even easier but math kept getting harder and my work ethic kept dropping. I was already accepted into…
