Center Of The Universe Scientific Revolution
1,221 words
The scientific advances of the seventeenth century
challenged traditional concepts of God and the
universe, leaving a profound effect on the rest of
western civilization. Revolutionary thinkers such
as Aristotle, Copernicus, Brahe, Kepler, Galilei,
and Newton through their discoveries, transformed
the way of thinking of an entire culture. As the
people of the day searched for more logical
explanations for the events they saw, Copernicus
and others sought out the answers through science.
A combin...

Superman: The History of the Man of Steel Sixty
six years ago in Cleveland, Ohio two teenagers
named Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster came up with
this idea of a hero. This hero is now world
renowned as a staple in the world of comic books.
He was the first of his kind and has a long list
of followers. This hero was Superman. Ever since
that summer night in 1934 when Superman crept into
the mind of Jerry Siegel, he has been changing
ever so slightly into the masterpiece of a hero he
is today. The hi...

Center Of The Universe Force Of Gravity
1,271 words
The human conceptualization of the solar system
dates back to the beginning of time. The early
Egyptians worshipped the sun as a source of life
and then the area called space was becoming a
curiosity to humans. Throughout history, our
knowledge of the solar system has increased and
there is still much to learn. Through the research
and studies of Brahmagupta, Ptolemy, Kepler,
Brahe, Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, and Einstein.
With this knowledge, laws and equations for
physical science have been ...

Isaac Newton Three Laws
653 words
In the year 1642 the people of Europe would have
never thought that when Isaac Newton was born he
would become one of the smartest men of his time.
Through his 84 years on earth this man would
discover gravity and write the principia, one of
the most famous books to date. Newton didn't
discover gravity but he discovered that it was and
still is everywhere on earth at all times. A
falling apple had posed a very difficult question
in Newton's mind, the question of whether the
force exerted by the ...

2 H 2 Golf Club

Ely Callaway founded the Callaway Golf Company,
originally called Hickory Stick USA, INC. , in
1982. The company started out specializing in
hickory-shafted putters and wedges that were
demonstrably superior and pleasingly different. In
1988 the company expanded its product line to
include a new set of irons that it designated as
the S 2 H 2 (Short, Strait, Hollow Home). This
design combined a cavity back iron with an
innovative with perimeter weighting, a progressive
offset and a bore-through s...

Center Of Gravity Galileo Galilei
2,005 words
The seventeenth century marked the beginning of
spectacular changes in science that to this day
flourish. However, during these times, science and
faith would clash, and in their terrible conflict,
the two were severed, to continue in divergent
directions and to lose their common ground that
continues at the present. The Aristotelian point
of view that the Earth was the center of the
universe was a universal, Biblical belief that no
one dared to question. However, one mans
discoveries within the...

Back To Earth Solar Wind
1,313 words
n this ERA of tight space budgets and infrequent
deep-space missions, solar system researchers have
pushed to squeeze more science from existing
interplanetary spacecraft. By drastically altering
their orbital paths using gravity-assisted
maneuvers combined with relatively brief rocket
firings, veteran probes can be sent on productive
extended missions. This technique was successfully
employed by the International Sun-Earth Explorer 3
(ISSE 3) spacecraft to accomplish two important
space firsts:...

Nuclear Fusion White Dwarf
1,160 words
The night sky, unimaginably deep, is a
breathtaking sight. Some three thousand stars can
be seen with the naked eye, twinkling points of
light that have inspired the human spirit since
the dawn of time. Study of the stars, based on
data collected from visible-light telescopes,
radio telescopes, and detectors wavelengths can
now reveal extraordinary amounts of information:
size, temperature, chemical composition, internal
structure, distance and rotation rate, among other
factors. One of the most...

Carbon Dioxide Solar System
1,582 words
Humans live on a small planet in a tiny part of a
vast universe. This part of the universe is called
the solar system, and is dominated by a single
brilliant star-the sun. The solar system is the
earths neighbourhood and the planets Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and
Pluto are the Earths neighbours. They all have the
same stars in the sky and orbit the same sun.
Scientists believe the solar system began about 5
billion years ago, perhaps when a nearby star
exploded and ca...

Aluminum Foil Magnetic Force
1,253 words
Summary of Investigation An investigation was
carried out to find out the relationship between
the force created in a wire (or solenoid) when
current flowed through it and the force from
gravity. This was investigated by connecting a
solenoid up to a variable power pack and then
placing a light ring of either copper or aluminum
around the solenoid. When the current flows
through the solenoid, a magnetic force created
from the solenoid should make the ring 'jump' up
or levitate. When carrying out...

18 Th Century Speed Of Light
1,558 words
Black Holes Every day we look into the night sky,
wondering and dreaming what lies beyond our
galaxy. Within our galaxy alone, there are
millions upon millions of stars. This may be why
it interest us to learn about all that we cannot
see. Humans have known the existence of stars
since they have had eyes, and see them as white
glowing specks in the sky. The mystery lies beyond
the white glowing specks we see but, in the things
we cannot see in the night sky such as black
holes. Before I begin to...

Celestial Bodies General Assembly

Why Pluto Is Not a Planet? According to the 26 th
General Assembly for the International
Astronomical Union, Pluto is no longer a planet.
More than 2, 500 astronomers, who took part in 7
Symposia, 17 Joint Discussions, and 7 Special
Sessions adopted new definition of a planet. From
now on, Resolution 5 A defines the planet as a
celestial body that: Is in orbit around the Sun;
Has enough mass for its self-gravity to overcome
the rigid body forces to assume a hydrostatic
equilibrium (nearly round)...

Sir Isaac Newton Three Laws Of Motion
332 words
Sir Isaac Newton; His Three Laws of Motion Isaac
Newton was born on Christmas day in 1642, in
Lincolnshire, England. Newton attended Trinity
College in 1661 and had both his Bachelor of Arts
and his Master of Arts by 1669. That same year he
became the associate of the French Academy of
Sciences. He was elected to Parliament, then
appointed a warden, and finally, President of the
Royal Society. Newton was a master of science and
mathematics. He discovered calculus, before
Leibniz became popular. ...

Track And Field Left Arm

Physics is everywhere in the world of sports. It
can be found when a boxer punches a guy, or when a
person is stabbing something. The shot put is an
event which has many practical applications to
physics. From the time the thrower begins moving,
to the time the shot hits the ground, physics can
be applied. The first track and field events began
over two thousands years ago in Greece. People
participated in sprints, endurance races, shot
put, and discus. Track and Field events were held
first in ...

Ground Controllers Satellite Orbit

Satellites orbit the earth doing our bidding in
ways that enrich the lives of almost all of us.
Through electronic eyes from hundreds of miles
overhead, they lead prospectors to mineral
deposits invisible on earths surface. Relaying
communications at the speed of light, they shrink
the planet until its most distant people are only
a split second apart. They beam world weather to
our living room TV and guide ships through storms.

Technologies Will Be Needed Development Of Space Gravity
226 words
If the nation is serious about the manned
exploration and development of space, then more
attention must be focused now on research to study
how weightlessness and reduced gravity would
affect everything from power production to
plumbing. The research is critical for the
development of space-related technologies. There
are certain scientific and engineering problems of
a fundamental nature that need to be addressed
before these technologies can be developed. This
research should be done now beca...
