The ultimate purpose of this lab is to find how much copper is in brass using the visible spectroscopy, in addition to the introduction of Beer’s law, a physical law that can be utilized to determine the unknown concentration of a metal ion in a solution if its absorbance is calculated; you can accurately measure it by means of a standard graph called a calibration curve. Also colorimetry, a technique “used to determine the concentration of colored compounds in solution” (Housecroft, Catherine)…

(Man/Woman): What is music? Is sound by itself music? What makes sound music? In 1952, John Cage wrote a song called, “Four Thirty-Three”. The song “Four Thirty-Three”, had no sound it it. The whole song is four minutes a thirty-three seconds of silence. John Cage said that “Four Thirty-Three” was music. When…

This paper talks about Newton and Leibniz’s controversy to calculus along with how their view of calculus differs from today’s view. It also discusses the controversy of the invention of calculus and about whether or not Leibniz had stolen Newton’s methods and notions or if he came up with it himself. The article also mentions Newton and Leibniz’s opinion over the whole controversy and about today’s view of the controversy that happened between the two. It also talks about their methods in…

Isaac Newton, one of the greatest scientific minds in the 17th century Newton was known as a natural philosopher instead of a scientist, he became famous all around the world. Isaac is " secretive, withdrawn, obsessive, ruthless, bitter, and perhaps in need of therapy, All of these things apply to Isaac Newton.(pg.13) It's not his fault though when he was just a baby his father died so he never knew his father. Also his mother deserted him when he was eight years old, he wasn't even…

Francisco Gutierrez 03.03 Linear Functions 1. The equation we have is 2x+3y=1200. The first thing you would need to do in the equation is subtract 2x to both sides. 2x cancels out and now we subtract 2x and 1200. You would end up getting 3y=2x-1200. Then finally, you would have to divide everything by -3. Your final answer for this question is y=-2/3x+400. Your slope is -2/3 and your y-intercept is 400. 2. So we know that our slope is -2/3 and the y-intercept is 400. You have one point on the…

The works of Galileo Galilee, Johannes Kepler and Renè Descartes developed the basis for which Sir Isaac Newton was able to form his laws on motion. Whilst none of these geniuses met Newton they all had similar laws, which Newton was able to mold into his three laws of motion. These laws seem to have been inspiration to Newton during his studies and his eventual works. Galileo helped to develop Newton’s first law, Kepler designed a basis of Newton’s second Law and Descartes’ first and third law…

I would like to explore the STEM field at a much deeper level. I’ve learned a lot relating to science from my classes ranging in Earth Science, Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. However, in comparison to what can be explored and has been discovered in the universe thus far, there is much more that I can learn science in general. Participating in this program would give a better understanding on the research NASA scientists are working on today. This better understanding would include how…

science technicians. Science Technicians of both laboratory and school backgrounds deal with lots of strange chemicals and equipment every day, and of course they need to know how to get the best out of what they’re using. Although they are specially trained, some of their day to day activities may seem pretty mundane; measuring, sampling and testing chemicals. The chemicals may need to be tested to ensure they are what they say they are, or to see if they have degraded. The chemicals may need…

1. Sir Isaac Newton: who, when, where Sir Isaac Newton was born December 25, 1642 in Lincolnshire, England into a farming family. Unfortunately, his father passed away just before he was born and his mother left to marry another man; therefore, he was raised by his grandparents. As a young man, Newton was an intelligent student intrigued by science and found himself building complex models. He was pushed by his mother to walk in his father’s farming footsteps; however, he prefered to…

Discuss your reasons for pursuing the Major/Academic Program selected above? Engineering I want to endeavor on an educational path of engineering because I am fascinated by its concepts and applications. I want to learn everything I can because I believe knowledge is the most powerful attribution. Engineering encompasses a variety of subtopics that coalesce with creativity and critical thinking. I have always been captivated by the processes and systems that combine complexity to simple designs…
