Introductory physics

Over the course of my high school career I spent countless hours working in the Engineering Department of my school. At least half of the many hours that I spent in these classes I was working with a group to complete various projects and tasks assigned by our teacher. I can recall a project, in my Principles of Engineering class, where we had to design a self-propelled car. In this project my partner and I were presented with various design challenges; one of these such challenges stated that…

Taylor Cockrell The Universe: its many theories Throughout history, knowledge and ideas have been passed on and tossed around about how we all came to inhabit this earth, this Universe. Many theories came from the Ancient Greeks, Romans and many different interpretations of the Christian Bible! In this essay I will talk about three main points throughout history that impacted how the universe can be interpreted, through theories. How the Ancient Greeks impacted thought and their ideas,…

Sir Isaac Newton and Archimedes of Syracuse are both very notable physicians and mathematicians. Each had his own achievements and theories; yet, they both made groundbreaking laws and had compelling ideologies. This essay will briefly discuss the lives and achievements of both Newton and Archimedes. We will also compare and contrast the works of both men. On the 25th day of December in the year of our Lord, 1642, Isaac Newton was born in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom of Great…

Albert Einstein was one the most important scientists of his time. Mostly because of his discoveries and theories.Two of his theories have caught my attention: the theory of relativity or the theory of gravitation. I have found his works to be entertaining and educational while also being realistic and inspirational. Albert Einstein was a brilliant mind in his time. Well into the 21st century, he still continues to teach and give insight on important matters such as studies on gravity and…

The history of writing the hymn «Amazing Grace» Amazing! One can hardly find another word to describe the incredible transformation that occurred in the life of John Newton. Newton was born in London in 1725 His mother died when he was seven years old. Father gave him to learn seamanship when Newton was eleven. At the beginning of Newton was a cabin boy, then became deckhand. Naturally, the boy ran to the ship's way of life, rich blasphemy, drunkenness, immoral behavior. Newton without…

The theoretical frame for this research is based on the Stress Process Model but extends and elaborates the SPM in order to apply to research aims of the present study (Pearlin, Menaghan, Lieberman, & Mullan, 1981). As shown in Figure 1, the Stress Process Model (SPM) has identified interconnections between stressors and psychological stress outcomes with intervening mediators (Pearlin, 1989; Pearlin et al., 1981). A mediator is a significantly “intervening variable” (p.14) between two variables…

My most valuable experience would be when I took Analytic Geometry and Calculus 1 over the summer. The reason for that would be that it gave me some valuable life lessons that contributed to my success in the years after I took this course. This experience began with an idea that I came up with as the end of my sophomore year began to creep up. I came to the decision of taking a Calculus course over the summer that way when I face calculus problems in my future math classes, they will not be new…

James Chadwick -Neurton Discovery James Chadwick was born in England on October 20, 1891; he died in the year of 1974. During his years he was an English physicist; he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics, for his discovery of the neutron in 1932. James Chadwick was a prisoner of war for 4 years in Germany during World War 1. James was captured by the nazi’s when he was studying beta radiation in Berlin. He came back to england after being held captive by Germany, James went to college at the…

Isaac Newton was a very famous mathematician and physicist and is know known as one of the most influential men ever. He has contributed to many fields and has helped with advancements in society. Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. His father died 3 months before he was born. Newton was expected to die after birth as he was a very weak baby. Newton was sent to live with his grandmother as his mam had married another man. This traumatic experience gave…

Eighteenth Century Mathematical Discoveries The Eighteenth century was full of great mathematicians, many of whom were disciple of either Newton or Leibniz. The most important mathematicians from the early half of the century came from one family the Bernoulli’s, and particularly two brothers Jacob and Johnathan. The middle of the century was dominated by Leonhard Euler. He made numerous discoveries that would change the landscape of mathematics forever, and today he is considered one of the…
