Newton's laws of motion

Christiaan Huygens was a Dutch mathematician and scientist, lived from April 14, 1629 – July 8, 1695. He was one of the leading scientists of his time and is best known as an astronomer, physicist, proabablist, and horologist. His contributions to experimental and theoretical physics were most notably the discovery of Titan, invention of the first pendulum clock, and the earliest theory about the nature of light. His great contributions are of great significance and so he deserves to be chosen…

Existence of God due to Efficient Causes Gods have been worshiped by many cultures throughout the entirety of human existence. Gods are seen as saviors, and every culture around the world maintains their own interpretation of God. Just like Gods have been idolized, they have also been questioned. Many philosophers throughout history have debated the question of whether God exists. In his paper The Existence of God, Thomas Aquinas claims that God exists because he is the first efficient cause of…

Causality is the structure of cause and effect, the relationship completely. For A must come before B, A being the cause and B the effect. This is one of the necessary conditions that need to be met, for causation to be applicable. At least three, need to be met altogether, such as temporal priority over cause and effect, and continuity. These conditions also have to happen at the same time, or it is not credible. David Hume has many theories towards causation, and looks for concrete causes and…

Firstly I would like to ask- Do you believe in the social and economic equality between the sexes? If the answer is yes- and I hope it should be- then you are, by definition, a feminist. I understand the name could be misleading and leads people to think of man hating and a movement exclusive to females. The Oxford dictionary defines feminism as ‘The advocacy of women’s rights on the grounds of political, social, and economic equality to men.’ So why is it now that calling one self a feminist…

Destroying Our Planet Earth In our daily routine, we as Americans neglect the different recourses we use every day throughout our average lives. We overlook a number of natural recourses we take for granted on a daily basis. One of the most significant objects Americans rely on is the automobile and in return for a ride from point A to point B your car requires gasoline. In order to produce gasoline, crude oil, a natural recourse, is first dug out of the ground and refined into the liquid that…

Science, one of the most influential subject, has made enormous impacts in Europe during the seventeenth century. Before the seventeenth century, Europe has made minimal progress in science related advancement. On the other hand, the Asian countries have made progress in scientific advancements until the Europeans rise (Goldstone 136). For example, the Chinese developed gun powder, compass, and printing press (Strasser “The Scientific Revolution”). In the seventeenth century, the century which…

governing equations of fluid dynamics — the continuity, momentum and energy equations. They are the mathematical statements of three fundamental physical principles upon which all of fluid dynamics is based: Mass is conserved F = ma (Newton’s second law of motion) Energy is…

astronomers, like Galileo. Hilliam says, “Isaac Newton combined laws of motions with his theory of gravitation to predict exactly how the planets orbit the Sun” (100). Newton’s law of gravity states that every object fall to the ground at the same speed. Even though Galileo had accomplished many things for science, “Galileo believed that his most important scientific contribution was his application of mathematics to the study of motion…” (Whitehouse 216). Galileo made many things possible for…

curve it is. Finding the interplanetary trajectory for a spacecraft is a real life problem, especially the one between Mars and Earth. It is currently solved by sophisticated computers but I am interested in learning how it is done. To do this Newton’s law of Gravitation has to be taken into account. It states that any two objects exert a gravitational force of attraction between each other. This force is directly proportional to the masses of both the objects, M1 and M2, and inversely…

In New Dimensions in Spiritual Understanding and Practice, it is suggested the transcendent will arise from “Establishing and Maintaining a Positive Transcendent Attitude” (Masters, Minister’s/Bachelor’s Curriculum 5: 23). This indicates that “Transcendence is seeing things as they really are” and that “Your attitude brings a response” (Masters, Minister’s/Bachelor’s Curriculum 5: 23, 24). This is further supplemented in “How to Practice the Power of the Transcendent Awareness in Daily Living”…
