Newton's laws of motion

The industrial revolution of the 18th century is one of the factors that empowered and sustained British hegemony till World War I. it is remembered as the period of Britain’s economic dominance and along with it was the largest empire in modern history, transcending all through the 7 continents of the world. However, contrary to popular belief, or Eurocentric learning of history, such development that can be perceived as “revolutionary” occurred centuries before the famed Industrial Revolution.…

To many the jump shot is defined as another maneuver to score a point for their team. To others it's a tool used to earn a living or provide a substantial gain via various revenue opportunities. There are many meanings and definitions to a jump shot but as defined by Merriam-Webster's online dictionary is a shot in basketball made by jumping into the air and releasing the ball with one or both hands at the peak of the jump. This research paper will take a finer look at the biomechanical makings…

“Comte’s most famous idea is undoubtedly his three stage law, according to which human intelligence successively develops three distinct philosophical methods the theological (fictive), metaphysical (abstract), and scientific (positive). This law depicts human development from several angles. Historically, it identifies three stages in the whole human race: epistemologically, the stages through which…

Lomonosov’s interests were wide spread as was his influence. Beyond literature, Lomonosov had a great impact on science through his discoveries. He was a polymath and worked on many different areas including chemistry, physics, astronomy, meteorology, mineralogy, and metallurgy (Vernadsky 38). Most of his earlier career was focused physics and chemistry. His work in physics focused for a period on electricity where he did many experiments with Georg Wilhelm Richmann, a German at the Academy of…

Particle (steel and spherical particles) waterjet is a new type of waterjet that can effectively break rock and other materials. In this study, simulation combined with experimental method was conducted to optimize the jet parameters (i. e., velocity, water pressure, impact time, concentration, diameter, and standoff distance) for modeling the rock breaking performance of a particle waterjet. In particular, the changes in the rock and particle properties after the impact were analyzed based on…

Leonhard Euler Leonhard Euler was one of the most important and influential mathematicians in history, as well as one of the most underappreciated. He made contributions to virtually every area of mathematics. It is sometimes jokingly stated that he was so prolific, that many discoveries were named for the first person after Euler to discover them (Richeson, 2008). The base of the natural logarithm, e, is named after Euler, as well as the Euler-Mascheroni constant, also called Euler’s constant.…

Jonathan Edwards Robert Watson History 1100: America to 1865 Mr. Lawrence Celani October 9, 2015 Jonathan Edwards, a puritan born colonist who experienced an intense conversion at an early age, was one of the most influential religious leaders of his era. Edwards was born in 1703 in Connecticut. Edwards was a well-educated individual, whom had attended Yale specializing in theology and philosophy. Soon after, Edwards became a very important and well-known preacher in the…

Differential Equations was the course that made me question my decision in taking up Chemical Engineering. I actually had no idea it was this challenging. All I had in mind was that it’s just Calculus 1 and 2 combined. Before we officially started the class, Engr. Cabatingan introduced us the syllabus and made us study it. The topics were “bearable”. However, I really had no idea what was Modeling all about. We even joked about it, more so when we knew that there’s going to be a gallery walk. In…

We as Americans are the monkeys, what we see, is what we do whether it’s out of curiosity or just being influenced by everything around us. We adapt to our surrounding and become followers. Our actions are usually in the norm of what society sees throughout the media, are based on what we perceived to be right and wrong from those who raised us, the lack of attention we receive, or those that we surround ourselves with. An individual is easily influenced, take Alex from A Clockwork Orange for…

them. More and more data will be gathered on each to either support or disprove them. The key force for change in a theory is, of course, the scientific method. A scientific law, said Karl Popper, the famous 20th century philosopher, is one that can be proved wrong, like “the sun always rises in the east.” According to Popper, a law of science can never be proved; it can only be used to make a prediction that can be tested, with the possibility of being proved wrong. For example, as the renowned…
