co-presence in the light of physics, mathematics, and cosmology, he appeals to the examples of non-Hausdorff manifolds and Cantor’s threefold concept of the finite, the transfinite, and the infinite in mathematics and to the non-locality of quantum mechanics. Thereby, he renders co-presence as an infinite fractal-like character. To be more specific, gleaning from Pannenberg the idea of the dialectical mutual indwelling of the finite and the infinite, based on Hegel’s concept of…
people in England. He was well educated and attended the best English schools but did not hold any type of formal degree. After college, Henry began following his father’s scientific footsteps. Being a follower of Newtonian philosophy and Newtonian mechanics, he began conducting experiments in gases, electricity and gravity. In 1766, Henry won the Royal Society’s Copley Medal for factitious airs with Hydrogen being the most notable of his discovery. Several years later, Cavendish…
Robert Crowley Mr. Scott Period 3 October 30th 2015 Chemistry Introduction and Overview Elements are the substances that make up everything in the universe, known and unknown. This means that elements are what make up matter, and everything you see, hear and touch. There are 118 elements known to man, some that you may know include gold, iron and oxygen. Each of these have distinguishing qualities and they come in 3 different states of matter, solid, liquid and gas. Some of these are…
Biomechanics refers to the “study of the action of external and internal forces on the living body, especially on the skeletal system” (Dictionary.com, 2015). By using biomechanics we can examine and find ways to successfully enhance performance, develop exercise programs and modify sporting techniques (Swedan, 2013). This paper will be analyzing and evaluating the athletic event of high jump. Biomechanics will be applied to critically examine the techniques used in high jump and improve upon…
On January 4th, 1643 (Displayed as December 25,1642 using the old Julian calendar) in Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England, a great physicist and mathematician was born. Said to be one of the smartest people of the 17th century Scientific Revolution, Isaac Newton developed the principles of modern physics, including the laws of motion After he was knighted by Queen Anne of England in 1705, he earned the Sir in the name that most people call him by today, along with his real name. Newton made…
“My goal is simple. It is a complete understanding of the universe, why it is as it is and why it exists at all.” -Stephen Hawkings. This is exactly what Stephen Hawking is working to do by piecing together parts of the universe. Stephen Hawking was born on January 8, 1942, in Oxford, England. When Hawking was young, he showed a strong passion for science and the sky. When he was 21, he was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also known as ALS. ALS is a very progressive disease…
photon is typically seen as a particle or wave representing a quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation. A photon carries energy proportional to the radiation frequency but has zero rest mass. Photons are currently best explained by quantum mechanics. However, it is important to know that photons have both the qualities of waves and particles which is known as wave-particle duality. As Einstein once said in attempt to explain wave-particle duality, "It seems as though we must use…
In particular a pitcher. This is because out of all the positions on a baseball team they generate the most speed and power from their throws. I also chose baseball pitchers as my ideal athlete because the mechanics of pitching a baseball is one of the most researched and documented motor skills in sports. Slide Five The ideal technique. As you can see from the picture the ideal technique that I found is from a skeleton. The two key things that make it the ideal…
AIM OF THE PRACTICAL The aim of this practical was to investigate the reality or the accuracy of the formula for the resultant force on and the position of the centre of pressure on a vertical rectangular surface. SKETCH OF APPARATUS Counterbalance weight Balance pan(with 20g mass piece) Flat/curved surface(as shown below) Water Beaker Mass pieces(20g each) SUMMARY OF THEORY Hydrostatic force is the force exerted by the…
if you use the old Julian calendar. Isaac was born in Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, where he attended school in his younger years. At school when he was younger, Isaac was unmoved by literature and poetry, but found an interest in mechanics and technology. His mother had wanted him to run the family farm, but his uncle and professor realized he was destined with a intellectual life. Sir Isaac Newton was a mathematician, and he made discoveries in physics(optics), and laws of motion…
