Plants And Animals Earths Rotation
849 wordsWhat is required for a planet to be able to support life? This is a question that people have been trying to answer for many years. Earth is a very unique planet because it is the only one proven to support life. Living organisms need certain things in order to survive that are not found on any other planet. Some of these life supporting features include food, water, atmosphere, temperature, rotation, gravity, surface and a moon. First, living things need a source of food. Energy is needed in or...

D C Heath Angular Momentum
1,531 wordsAngular momentum and its properties were devised over time by many of the great minds in physics. Newton and Kepler were probably the two biggest factors in the evolution of angular momentum. Angular momentum is the force which a moving body, following a curved path, has because of its mass and motion. Angular momentum is possessed by rotating objects. Understanding torque is the first step to understanding angular momentum. Torque is the angular "version" of force. The units for torque are in N...

Although the Greeks had the means of producing the necessary motion, the shape and intricacy of an "armillary sphere clock" may have prevented rigorous experimentation until the development of stereography. Until the development of stereography by Hipparchos in the middle of the second century BC. , the Greeks measured time with various types of water clocks. The most...

Earths Rotation Solar Wind
1,404 wordsTHE MOON Called Luna by the Romans, Selene and Artemis by the Greeks, and many other names in other mythologies. The Moon, of course, has been known since prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moons phases. The time between successive new moons is 29. 5 days (709 hours), slightly different from the Moons orbital pe...

Cast Iron Common Place
2,441 wordsI-How Does Gears Work? You see gears in just about everything that has spinning parts. For example, car engines and transmissions contain lots of gears. Gears are generally used for one of four different reasons: 1 - To reverse the direction of rotation. 2 - To increase or decrease the speed of rotation. 3 - To move rotational motions to a different axis. 4 - keep the rotation of two axis synchronized. Most of the gears you see in real life have teeth. The teeth have three advantages: 1 - They p...

Speed Of Light General Theory Of Relativity
3,151 wordsI. Introduction 1. Theory of Black Holes Black holes are one of the least understood phenomenons in the galaxy yet the secrets contained within the black hole could revolutionize the field of physics. Black holes are formed when an enormously massive star, most likely a neutron star, collapses in on itself. This happens because when the star dies all the energy generated from the sun s fusion reaction that was formerly pushing outward suddenly stops. When the outward force stops, the sun has so ...
