Orbital

Courtney Heemsoth Physics 1030 Research Paper Johannes Kepler How does Johannes Kepler continue to influence the world of mathematics and physics? Johannes Kepler did so by creating what is known as the laws of planetary motion which help explain the motion of planets which orbit around the sun. His discoveries were a breakthrough for this time period which occurred between 1571-1630. This was so shocking to the public because no one was able to explain the planets and the orbits in this time…

Interestingly, most psychopaths show an idiosyncratic pattern of brain activity, they have decreased activity in an area towards the center of the brain called the orbital cortex this area is thought to play a role in coordinating our emotions and impulses as well as morality and aggression. Of course, brain scans are only one potential indicator that someone has psychopathic tendencies. Evidence also shows that some…

For our lab presentations, Natalie Lutz and I chose to research other planetary systems. We knew this was a topic that would lightly be discussed in class and therefore decided we could educate our peers further on the topic. It offered a look into the different types of ways planetary systems are discovered and the different ones that have already been discovered. Extrasolar planets are defined as planets rotating around other stars- or remnants of stars. This is comparable to our planet…

need advanced training to help them keep their emotions in check when in the field. Police may feel threatened when caught in a dangerous situation. Being threatened can activate the rage circuit in the brain. The rage circuit is controlled by the “orbital cortex wherein decisions are made about how you should respond to a particular stimulus”(Shermer, 2015). In the cortex is where the decision to act on impulse or show restraint is made. When the rage circuit overrides the cortex people act…

Football is the most popular sport in the United States. In 2012 the league had an approximate attendance of 67,604 fans at each game.The competition for football players is organized under National Football League which is referred to as the NFL. Basketball is the third most popular sport in the United States. Basketball competitions are organized under National Basketball Association (NBA). (“Top Popular”) Due to social media, young athletes are seeing more and more of the lives of NFL and NBA…

More than four hundred years ago, Johannes Kepler declared to the world that Mars travels on an elliptical orbit in his magnum opus the Astronomia Nova. This new elliptical orbital model of Mars not only perfected the heliocentric model of Copernicus in terms of providing it with a sounder mathematical foundation, and rendering it more able to predict the motion of Mars better than any traditional geocentric model like that of described by Ptolemy in the Almagest, but also challenged the ancient…

There has been a grand total of 129,864,880 books published ever. All of these fall into the category of essential questions that I have learned. Some of the books also contain some of the essential questions that I have found interesting. This year in english class we read Night by Elie Wiesel and the novel contains the essential question of seeking justice and bearing witness about terrible things that have happened like the holocaust and to promote what happened so the act can be prevented…

studies, and scores them with a value where “0” there is no pain present, “1” it is moderately visible and “2” is severe. Finally, each mouse receives a global pain or no-pain mark. The features are individually examined and are the following. “Orbital tightening” is a narrowing of the ocular area with closed eyelid or eye squeeze. “Cheek bulge” is described as the convex appearance of the cheek, where “nose bulge” is a rounding of the skin on the bridge of he nose. “Ear position” was measured…

“I am become death, the destroyer of worlds,” Robert J. Oppenheimer once quoted after witnessing the successful first test of the atomic bomb (Brainyquote). What is the atomic bomb? The atomic bomb’s formula was created by a rather surprising force during World War II. Today, numerous nations still use and even improve the atomic bomb. Plus, the future with atomic bombs will be a positive one, although there may be some bumps down in the future. The atomic bomb has a completely different origin…

“The crash of the shot rolled up the the hills and rolled down again. Lennie jarred, and then settled slowly forward to the sand, and he lay without quivering” (Steinbeck 106). George was a normal farm boy and Lennie was a man in body but kid in mind, they were friends that traveled together because George promise Lennie’s Aunt Clara that he would watch over him and take care of him. They traveled together to find work and hopefully get land and have a great farm and live happy with the rabbits.…
