Physics

The moment that I discovered that science was one of my favorite things to learn about was when I was in 7th grade. The science that I learned in 7th grade was biology. Before 7th grade, I learned about other sciences such as chemistry, astronomy, physics, and geology. All those subjects didn’t grab my attention as much as biology because before I didn’t think they were interesting and I thought it hard to understand the concept of those sciences. However as I went through my high school career,…

work so much so that any book establishing that the earth moved was banned, starting in 1616. This was the first step on a long road still being made in science. Following Copernicus’s work, Galileo and Kepler began their own works in astrology and physics, including the creation of the telescope and the debunking of the Aristotelian theory of “heavier bodies fall faster than lighter ones,” (Okasha, 4). The years after Galileo died, the scientific revolution really began to pick up speed. With…

J.J Thomson was born in Cheetham Hill, a suburban area in Manchester, England on December 18, 1856. Thomson was a Nobel Prize winning physicist with his research that helped discover the electrons of an atom. J.J Thomson full name was Joseph John Thomson, He was an English physicist and mathematician. Joseph Thomson was considered to be a prodigy at his time, becoming the first to be 14 and attending college. Joseph Thomson’s father was a book seller who intended Thomson to become an engineer.…

. Galileo is one of the greatest scientists the world has ever seen. He made major contributions to the fields of physics, astronomy, cosmology, mathematics, and philosophy. He overcame many struggles and changed the way people look at the heavens. Galileo was one of the first to use the scientific method and many historians credit him for being the “founder of modern experimental science”. Galileo Galilei was born on February 15, 1564 in Pisa, Italy. He was the eldest of seven children born to…

of Cambridge Trinity College in 1661. Newton graduated class of 1668 with his Masters of Arts degree. Newton improved tremendously the reflecting telescope during college. Once graduated, Newton sought life in physics, math, and forces. Newton's studies centered on Math, calculus, and physics. Newton is the most famous for development of the three laws of motion. Newton's second law states force equals mass times…

James Chadwick was a very intelligent boy, as a teenager he knew that he wanted to study physics and so he did. James Chadwick went to the University of Cambridge at the age of 17, in the year 1908. When he was 19 he was in his final year of his physics degree. James’ teacher was Ernest Rutherford another famous scientist who won the Nobel Prize for Chemistry, because of his studies on disintegrating the atom. After James turned in his research paper he graduated with first class honors. For…

of the 20th century. This essay will look at meitner’s life and discoveries. Examine each of her major discoveries. All her discoveries helped boost mankind into the future. Lise Meitner was one of the few women scientists of her time. She studied physics and chemistry, and she did research and experiments. She discovered new information and things. She contributed to the discovery of nuclear fission which had a big effect on the world . Which is when you split Atoms then it releases a lot of…

laws of motion (biography.com). Using his three laws of Motion, Newton was able to prove how gravity holds the planets in orbit, as well as how the moon causes the tides; due to that, Principia is now considered the most influential book in all of physics, as reported by biography.com. Newton’s discoveries greatly contributed to science, and he is now considered to be one of the most influential scientists and mathematicians of all…

Well optics are the scientific studies of light and how they behave. Optics are also the study of the way light reflects off of other objects. Light is a form of electromagnetic waves. What are Newton's Laws of Physics? The first law states that for an object in motion will stay in motion until acted upon by another object. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent on two variables. The third laws states that for every action there is…

James Chadwick -Neurton Discovery James Chadwick was born in England on October 20, 1891; he died in the year of 1974. During his years he was an English physicist; he was awarded a Nobel Prize in Physics, for his discovery of the neutron in 1932. James Chadwick was a prisoner of war for 4 years in Germany during World War 1. James was captured by the nazi’s when he was studying beta radiation in Berlin. He came back to england after being held captive by Germany, James went to college at the…
