Motion

A fluid in which the viscous stresses taken place from its flow at all the point are linearly proportional to the rate of change in its deformation over time is called Newtonian fluid. Newtonian fluid explains the relationship between the shear rate and the shear stress is linear with the proportionality constant, which is to be referred as the coefficient of viscosity. Non-Newtonian fluid is a fluid where the properties of fluid flow are not similar with Newtonian fluid. In Newtonian fluids,…

This paper will discuss the life of the German mathematician, astronomer, and astrologer Johannes Kepler. Who had a great impact in the 17th century scientific revolution, because of his development of the three laws of planetary motion. He is also remembered for the legacy he left that later provided one of the foundations for Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation. “Johannes Kepler was born on December 27, 1571 poor and sickly in what is now Germany. His father left home when Johannes…

Research: According to Newton 's Second law when force is increased acceleration increases assuming that mass stays constant. a=F/m Purpose: The purpose of this lab is to prove when force increases acceleration also increases. The independent variable is amount of force applied to the Lenny Board and the dependant variable is the acceleration of the Lenny Board. 3 controlled variables are mass, surface of testing, and the Lenny Board (the weight, the amount of grease on the bearings, ECT) itself…

Rene Descartes as a famous philosopher, mathematician and scientist in seventieth century has introduced a new method for recognising and distinguishing truth from untruth. Descartes believed that this method could be useful for every body since reason is same for all people. The aim of this essay is to demonstrate Descartes’ method in three parts. In the first part it will explain that what Descartes’ method is. In the second part, it will explain the philosophical meaning of this method. And…

Introduction This practical was an investigation involving the use of a tennis ball and a meter ruler. The tennis ball was held and dropped at a specific height above the ground. The height of the bounce was then measured. This investigation was carried out to find out whether the efficiency of the bounce varied with the height of release of the tennis ball. If the bounce were 100% efficient, then the tennis ball would have bounce off the ground and return to the starting height. Research…

The Accomplishments of Jean Jacques Rousseau Jean Jacques Rousseau was one of the few people who could be considered as a jack of all trades. He was a philosopher, author, and composer, and he also dabbled in botany and mathematics. He produced many wonderful works in his lifetime and had made several important contributions to music, literature, and political philosophy. His professional success belied the difficult childhood that he had. His mother died a few days after he was born, and his…

Copernicus was the most prominent astronomer in history of the world. He landed in the Renaissance period in North Poland from 1473 to 1543. Copernicus was cared for by his paternal uncle and attended multiple universities before, he died in 1543. Copernicus brought up the idea of a heliocentric solar system, and wrote a book that is still considered the best book ever written on astronomy. He has prompted the work of many scientists after him and we still believe in a heliocentric universe.…

Projectile Motion via Potato Launchers (Prompt 2) Launching Potatoes through potato launchers may seem like an ordinary activity that people do to have fun but principles of physics are present in this activity. Launching Potatoes through Potato launchers is an example of projectile motion, it also shows how gravity can impact acceleration. Projectile motion occurs when an object is thrown and it moves along a curve due to gravity. The only force that a project has during projectile motion is…

Experiment 3: Buoyancy Introduction Mass is described as the measure of the amount of matter contained in an object. On the other hand, weight is the measure of the force of gravity acting on the mass. Mass is measured in kilograms, while weight is measured in newtons. The density of an object is found by dividing the mass by the volume. Buoyancy is the upward force of a liquid which counters the weight of an immersed object. The theoretical buoyancy of an object can be calculated by using the…

Although Alan Turing and Emilie Du Chatelet were from distinctive eras, they shared interests in the field of mathematics and science which led to achievements such as, providing the foundation of modern computing and the successful translation of Newton's book Principia to French, respectively. These historical figures encountered differences in limitations, influence from political climate, and love. Considering the evidence, each individual was successful even with such influences.…
