How Newton’s Second Law changed Physics. There are many equations and formulas that are important in physics because of what they imply or solve like E=mc^2, but Newton’s Second Law of motion has to be one of the most important. F=m(dv/dt)(Quote) F=ma Force = Mass x Acceleration (Newtons) With the use of this equation he proved that objects that are heavier fall at the same rate towards earth as objects that are lighter because the earth pulls them down with the same force. To put it in…

the impact that he had on the scientific community. I changed my topic more than once because of a lack of information regarding the topics, this was primarily seen when I thought I should make my research topic the impact that Newton had on the physics community. Little did I know this topic was too concise and at this point I was unable to find much information that would relate to historical events or touch upon the same concepts that I had chosen. Some of the things which I would do…

Plato once said, “Astronomy compels the soul to look upwards and leads us from this world into another.” Obviously, astronomy has always been an interest to mankind. We look up into the night sky and feel an urge, something pulling us towards the stars. Many people have been influential in discoveries involving the stars and the planets beyond. From Galileo Galilei to Stephen Hawking, we have learned and discovered amazing things about the universe, and in recent discoveries we have wondered if…

Robert Hooke Robert Hooke was known for many things that have affected the world we live in, from the discovery of certain cell parts to laws that he has made. He was an important person to our history. Even though Robert Hooke was a philosopher, architect, experimenter, etc. He also had an interesting life before he became known to science. He discovered many different things, and has affected biology and how we see things in a different way. Robert Hooke was born in England on July 28…

Albert Einstein has made a historical impact on the world and in the fields of science and math. Even with a not so great childhood, he was able to persevere and accomplish many great things. In elementary school, his teacher had told him he was “too dumb” to be there. His mother told him he was “too smart” and decided to homeschool Albert. This is the beginning of his magnificent journey. From solving equations, to making a difference in schools, he has helped many people and will continue to…

him as honorable. Isaac Newton accomplished many things over his lifetime as a scientist. He is best known for his work on motion and gravity. He discovered and wrote Newton’s three laws of motion which are used around the world today as a base of physics. He also developed the law of gravitation that contains certain aspects still used to explain the gravitational…

How was the world formed? How did humans become prominent in the world today? These are questions that get asked everyday and a very select few of people can answer them. Out of the select few, one stands out the most and that is Carl Sagan. Carl Sagan is a very prominent astronomer, cosmologist, and an author. Carl Sagan is well known for his books: Cosmos, Broca’s Brain, The Dragons of Eden, and Contact. He also narrated show called Cosmos: A Personal Voyage. He is also well known for his…

Introduction Gerolamo Cardano is the one that have the most colorful and striking personalities in the history of science , He was a very peculiar innovator. He invented the Cardan shaft, pillows to reduce allergic reactions (very new in those days) and the combination lock. And he is the best known for the contributions to mathematics, solving the mathematical fourth order equations problem so in 2000 he was found the company with the wish to innovate the financial world, based on the notion…

The Medici family, sometimes referred to as the House of Medici, rose to power by starting the Medici bank in Florence, 13th. Through that bank, they became one of the wealthiest families of the Renaissance era. The Medici family is well known for their support in architecture and arts. They would pay artists commissions in return for major works of art. The Medici family had a major influence on the arts of the Renaissance era as they used their wealth to help artists focus on their work…

Ernest Rutherford was born in rural Spring Grove, on the South Island of New Zealand on August 30, 1871. He was the fourth of 12 children, and the second son. His father, James, had little education and struggled to support the large family on a flax-miller’s income. Ernest’s mother, Martha, worked as a schoolteacher. She believed that knowledge was power, and placed a strong emphasis on her children’s education. At age of ten at Foxhill School Ernest Rutherford received his first science book.…
