    Mathematicians have been around for centuries. They have contributed great amounts of knowledge to the world. A mathematician is a person who excels or is an expert in mathematics. One specific mathematician that brought great ideas into the world was Gottfried Leibniz. He contributed a lot to mathematics, science, physics, philosophy and even his local government. Mathematicians are very important because without them we would not have many important theories that explain why certain things…

    invented reflecting lenses for telescopes which produced clearer images. During his life, he went through many hardships. He had a mental breakdown before losing his mother in 1678. Isaac Newton transformed the structure of science with his three laws of motion. His first law states that objects continue to move at a constant velocity unless acted upon by an external force. The second law is that the rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to the resultant force acting on it, and…

    three laws of motion. These laws essentially changed the field of physics in an astounding manner – it paved the way to modern science. Let’s look at these laws in some more detail: Newton’s first law: It states that an object will remain at rest or in a uniform motion, unless an external force acts on it. This is basically also the definition for inertia. In other words, the state of motion of an object will not change unless there’s an external force that acts to change this motion. Therefore,…

    Compacting the amount of space used by the bike will increase the acceleration at which the object is moving. This happens because the counter forces are being lessened by the amount of space something is taking up. This relates to the first law concept of motion discussed. To conclude, the unbalanced forces between something will react against each another. The net force of an object is the overall difference between all balanced or unbalanced forces. Net force directly affects the object in…

    The invisible being that created the push or pull of an object has been a law of science since the early ages. The first scientists to study this entity was Ancient Greek scientists Archimedes. His theory is now referred to as Archimedes 's principle, or the law of fluid mechanics. It implies that there is force that is exerted on a body immersed in a fluid, whether fully or partially submerged, is equal to the weight of the fluid that the body displaces. He hypothesized this theory while in…

    IV: Rebuttals to my Characterisation of Reclamation In the above, I have created a model to represent to sociological phenomena of the reclamation of slurs. I have given an example how we can see this mechanism at work with respect to the word queer. Though this provides evidence in support of my thesis the question arises as to what measure should be used to more so test the effectiveness of the model. What should be considered and how can my thesis best be supported? The model which I have…

    in addition to the materials used for the bungee jump apparatus included Vernier LabPro, connected to the Dual Range Force sensor and the Ultrasonic Motion Detector, and Logger Pro. The Dual Range Force sensor was used for measuring the force, given in Newtons, of the bungee jump either pulling or pushing on the attached hook. The Ultrasonic Motion Detector provided information on the change in the bungee jump’s position by measuring its distance from the sensor. These sensors provided…

    headrests in terms of keeping your body at rest while you are driving, which in turn will keep you safe. When you crash your car, the motion of your body in the car matches the motion of the century itself, so when it crashes, your body has the tendency to stay in motion. So, with the headrest, seatbelt, and airbag, they are all designed to slow down the forward motion of your body in a car. Riding a rollercoaster is a great way to experience Newton 's laws. Relate each law to an aspect of the…

    affects centripetal acceleration of an object undergoing uniform motion. The results show centripetal acceleration is affected by radius and velocity but not mass. It gives a better understanding to why objects in uniform motion accelerate towards the centre of a circle. Introduction The purpose of this lab is to determine how the radius, mass and speed of an object can affect the centripetal acceleration of the object in uniform motion. Some concepts used to understand this lab are: 1.…
