Essays on Isaac Newton

Isaac Newton’s story of how an apple falling from a tree that hit his head inspired him to formulate a theory of gravitation is one that all school children grow up hearing about. Newton is arguably one of the most influential scientific minds having ever lived. He has published books such as Arithmetica Universalis, The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms, Methods of Fluxions, Opticks, the Queries, and most famously, Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica. He formulated the three laws of gravitation, discovered the generalized binomial theorem, developed infinitesimal calculus (sharing credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Von Leibniz, who developed the theory ...

Psychology is the study of the mind, behavior and brain scientifically. Psychology brings out varies levels analysis, from to complex social and cultural influences, as well as from the brain to mind. Therefore, psychology is used throughout human life and cannot be exempted in any way. For that reason, psychologists are able to predict the natural behaviors of humans based on their daily activities. In order to study these behaviors, scientists have to come up with ways in which the analyses can be done. This has led to the creation of six scientific thinking principles that have been set ...

Experiment 2: Motion in one dimension

Introduction:
Motion of a body in one dimension is basic study in physic and to have knowledge about motion in one dimension it is necessary to be acquainted with two fundamental laws of physics. One of them is Newton’s laws of motion and another is Newton’s law of gravity. There are three laws in Newton’s laws of motion, but in this paper only Newton’s second law of motion has been discussed. If force is applied on a body, the same will move as a result of applied force on the body. The body will remain ...

Historical changes in belief and thoughts, which changed institutional and social organization between the year 1500 and 1700 and led to the unfolding of Europe; is what is referred to as the scientific revolution. Age of reason is another name which is used to refer enlightenment. In addition, this was a period in America and Europe when mankind transformed into a new age from centuries of ignorance. There were major changes in Europe that’s political, economical, sociology and religiously. Natural laws were discovered, and different theories were introduced and this separated us from foolishness and made us have ...

Gravity is precisely defined as a pulling force; it pulls objects (matter) towards it. The intensity of force is directly proportional to the quantity of matter, so the things composed of more matter tend to be pulled with greater intensity of force. The mass of any object is the fundamental unit being used to measure the quantity of matter it that object. Therefore, the more heavy and matter in the object is, the higher gravitational pull will it put forth. Earth exerts a pulling force on the objects (Human beings) that move on its surface and as a result ...

One of the dark secrets of Newton is his deep curiosity and obsession to religion and his devotion to occult. Another revelation shows that Newton has tried to enter pseudoscience which means he settled on beliefs and practices that are mistakenly known as based on scientific method given that before everything, he believes that everything in this world can be subscribed to scientific understanding. According to Walter Lewin, one of the speakers in the video, Isaac Newton is allergic to criticisms even before that is why he decided on keeping his inventions and even the other earthly manners that ...

Throughout the sixteenth century, numerous scientific revolution had taken place, and they changed the manner in which the political, religious and developmental issues took place up to the eighteenth century. Margret Jacobs gives an insight to this explaining some of the origin of the entire ideology of enlightenment in the western societies. She enables the readers to understand the trajectory of the concept through the argument that there is an importance of having the revival of the academic work of the past through the upheaval and renaissance related to the reformation of the Protestants and the works of science. ...

1) For much of history, science and technology were one in the same thing. People explored science because they were educated, and learning about the world around them was a commendable endeavor. In discussing the two hundred year tenure of Newton’s Principia, Burke relates the way in which humans pursued science. Science was worth pursuing because it was a way for people to examine their reality. After investigation, scientists were able to make conclusive proclamations about the state of man and nature. The type of information gleaned from scientific inquiry was definitive. Because everything was knowable, science was ...

1. Integration is a topic within calculus that has been applied in many engineering problems. Sir Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz first developed integration concepts, while working independently, in the 15th century (Goldman and Foresta, 2005 p. 4). Leibniz used integral calculus to work on sequences of functions while Newton used it to find the area under a curve and consequently overlook the use of indivisibles (Goldman and Foresta, 2005 p. 5). A separate, but similar in concept discoveries, lay the foundation for the two part fundamental theorem of calculus.
The first part states that, if f ...

Isaac Newton by James Gleick

Introduction:
Isaac Newton is probably one of the most famous scientists of the Renaissance age, and with his discovery of gravity, he definitely entered into the annals of history. Gleick’s book is instructive and quite useful, since it throws new light on this rather mysterious scientific figure. Newton’s early past is also given considerable exposure, and since this has often been overlooked, Gleick’s book is definitely quite useful in this area.

Isaac Newton was born in 1642, his first forays into the world were quite harrowing since he came from an unknown father and his mother ...

Newton`s contribution to physics

Newton studied all the basic questions of physics and mathematics relevant to his time. Mighty apparatus of Newton`s mechanics, its versatility and ability to explain and describe a wide range of natural phenomena, especially astronomical, had a tremendous impact on many areas of physics and chemistry. “His study and understanding of light, the invention of the reflecting telescope (1668), and his revelation in his Principia of the mathematical ordering of the universe are all represented on his monument in Westminster Abbey” (“Sir Isaac Newton”).
Newton's influence on the further development of physics is enormous. Nowadays all scholars think ...

Question 9) What was alchemy? What later subjects did it embrace? What was the philosopher's stone? Compare and contrast the alchemical traditions associated with Jabir ibn Hayyan and al-Razi.
Islamic scholars wanted to utilize their knowledge and to apply philosophy to the material world. "Alchemy was in some ways the precursor to the modern material sciences of pharmacology (iatrochemistry), chemistry, mining and smelting, and parts of physics and engineering, as well as aspects of biology such as the study of fermentation, decay and reproduction. At a basic level, alchemists were trying to identify, classify, and systematically produce useful or ...

The poem Amazing Grace by John Newton happens to be one of the most famous poems ever known in the world. It is recited in many forms one of it being in song. Amazingly many people know it as a song and not as a poem. Apparently it is sung or recited in religious circles thereby playing a very important role in worship and therefore has affected the lives of very many people. The poem itself is very interesting and engaging when it is looked at from the literary point of view as the elements that make it amazing ...

Our modern thoughts on science were brought about by what is known ad the scientific revolution. It transformed the fields of all the sciences including, mathematics, physics, astronomy, biology, medicine, and chemistry. Many believe this period in time began during the renaissance in Europe and continued on through the 18th century. Two main figures in the scientific revolution were Sir Issac Newton, who was an English physicist and mathematician, and Galileo Galilei an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher.
Galileo Galilei was born in 1564 and was an Italian mathematician and physicist. His work included the construction of a ...

The discovery of calculus, which is a branch within mathematics, is attributed to both Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz. Both Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz made independent contributions towards the development of the foundations of calculus. Instrumental and significant contributions were done by both Newton and Leibniz in a bid to ensure that calculus was developed in order to assist in various concepts and applications of mathematics (Kleiner 139). However, it is important to note that the foundations of calculus developed by Newton differed widely from the foundations of calculus that were developed by Leibniz. There is no doubt ...

Introduction

In this world of science, the theory of relativity has certainly revolutionized the way people use to interpret the world, they are living in. Hence, the theory, E=mc^2, invented by the world’s famous scientist, Albert Einstein, has an important significance not only in physics but also in other domains of life for everyone. Keeping this notion in mind, ‘Harald Fritzsch’ wrote the book “E=mc^2 - An Equation That Changed the World” to bring into limelight the meaning and importance of this theory to the people of non-scientific background. The author creates a fictitious character named Haller ...

Isaac Newton also called the father of all science has vastly influenced the science world greatly. He came up with theories and advancements in science that have been used since then to solve problems of the modern day science. His discoveries and theories have had an effect on the fields of mathematics, mechanics, optics, astronomy, alchemy, experimental chemistry, and theology.

The SI unit of acceleration is m/s2, or more appropriately, meters per second per second. It is described mathematically as v/t, which is change of velocity over change in time. It describes the rate at which velocity changes over time. On the other hand motion is the change of position of an object with regards to a particular frame of reference. According to Newton, a body’s motion does not change unless a force acts on it. A body can either be at rest, or in motion when an external force acts upon it. Motion may be described as ...

The case of Newton in the police force presents modern day ethical concerns in the management of the Y generation. This generation of employees are more aggressive, assertive and cognizant of their rights. However, even in light of the new approach adopted by employees, the manager must maintain a balance between the organizational concerns and the employee demands. It is this paper’s contention that Newton is a problem employee. One in as much as one would want to exercise his rights, the right comes with a duty. The employee in his ordinary daily engagements must appreciate rights and ...

Scientific advancements are generally associated with Europe at a point in history when superstition, fear and absolute devout to religious beliefs got replaced with reasoning and knowledge. Up until a change in people’s view of the world started by the help of the great scientists of history, the whole of Europe and the then discovered world saw its habitation, the Earth, and everything happening in it with the eye of religion, mostly the teachings of the bible, so their values were basically world-denying. Great kings and kingdoms of that age ruled and governed majorly by biblical teachings and ...

The scientific revolution of the 17th century is strongly associated with the name of a genius scholar Isaak Newton. His contribution to the world’s scientific thought can hardly be overestimated.
Born in 1642 on the Christmas night in Woolsthhorpe, which is situated in Lincolnshire, England, the child was destined to change the world and become the culminating figure in the revolution of scientific knowledge. A genius as he was, Isaak Newton left his legacy in every fundamental area of that time science: mathematics, mechanics, optics and astronomy.
Isaak stepped into this world in the farmer’s family but ...

In 1905, Einstein determined that the laws of physics apply in the same manner to all non-accelerating observers. He also determined that the speed of light in a vacuum was not dependent on the motion of all observers. Einstein called this, the law of special relativity. This theory introduced a new framework for physics by proposing new concepts of time and space. Einstein argued that the time-space around the earth could not only be distorted but also twisted due to the planet’s rotation (Einstein, 1950). Newton quantified the force between two objects (gravity) by his three laws of ...

The three Newton Law’s of motion gives an explanation on how a rocket operates. The first Newton’s Law of Motion gives a description of how an object moves when it is at rest. An object at rest continues at stationary spot unless an external force acts on it. Once the object moves, it will continue in that state of motion unless stopped by another object. Newton’s principle applies to rocket movement because a moving requires no thrusting force to keep it moving in a given direction at the same constant speed. Once a rocket is in ...

Lab Report on Newton’s Second Law: Constant Force

The goal of this experiment was to take a practical approach to studying Newton’s Second Law and understanding the relationship between acceleration, force, and mass. In event, we confirmed this law that states: the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the object’s mass (Loyd 101).

Description of experiment

In this experiment, we confirmed Newton’s Second Law by performing two related activities in which we measured the acceleration of system under the following circumstances:
i. The acceleration of the system as a result ...

Newton’s First Law is the Law of Inertia. F = m * a F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration

An object will stay at rest (not moving) until some force is applied. An object in motion will stay in motion until some force is applied.
Games that have to do with balls or any kind of spheres are one example. If you are playing marbles the marbles do not move until they are hit by one of the other marbles or if a person pushes one of them or picks it up.

Problem Statement - What are the accelerations produced by varying forces on a given mass?
Hypothesis - If the force on a cart with a constant mass is decreased, then the acceleration will be greater

In this experiment Newton’s second law of linear motion was being investigated. A cart was connected by a ticker tape and a ticker timer used to get the velocity and time. The hypothesis was that a decrease of the force on a cart with a constant mass results in greater acceleration. This is because removal of certain masses results in an equivalent resultant force, hence more resultant force causes more acceleration (Goswami 43).

Calculus is a section in mathematics that can also be referred to as infinitesimal calculus that is mainly focused on integrals, infinite series functions and limits. Most of the ideas and notions in the history of calculus were invented by various mathematicians in the seventeenth century. These ideas were closely related hence summarized together to ensure that the current calculus is simple to integrate and calculate. However, much credit is attributed to Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz whose ideas although different but were essential in developing diverse functions in calculus (Stewart 112).

The innovation of calculus is usually related ...

Isaac Newton was an English scientist who not only studied but made stupendous discoveries in mathematics, physics, and chemistry. However, he is also a well-known astronomer, natural philosopher and theologian.
Sir Isaac Newton was born in three months after the death of his father and when his mother remarried he moved to his grandparents. These were the people that raised him from his youth. On reaching the proper age, Newton attended Cambridge University where he stayed until the plague hit. Even though he called his age of the time of the plague "the prime of my age for invention", ...

As a scientist, he possessed great qualities. Isaac Newton presented himself as a self-taught and self-educated individual. Through hard work, dedication, single-mindedness, he was able to pursue a self-discovery life that made possible the discovery of several inventions as well as formulations of a number of scientific laws (Westfall p.187).
Isaac newton was able to develop and advance his ideas through experimentation. Through his experimentation techniques, he was able to come up with brilliant ideas that are even used today especially in the invention of various mechanical models. One of the wonderful practice that Isaac Newton had and which ...

Abstract

The Book of Revelation is a complex text, and it has very complex symbolism that is difficult to parse today. It takes a historical understanding of the life and times of the authors of the Bible to really understand the meaning behind the passages—and even with years of study, there are still arguments that commonly occur about the meaning of different passages. However, it is important to understand that there are lessons within this text too—the Book of Revelations is not merely an apocryphal text, it is a pastoral text as well. Revelations is interpreted a number ...

Rockets and newton’s laws of motion

Rockets and newton’s laws of motion

Introduction.

The movement of a rocket from the surface of the Earth to an arrival on the Moon can be clarified and depicted by physical principals found more than three hundred years back by Sir Isaac Newton. He worked in numerous regions of math and material science. He added to the speculations of attractive energy in 1666, when he was just twenty three years of age (Loeschnig & Zweifel, 1999). Newton's first law expresses that each item stays very still or in uniform movement in a straight line unless constrained to change its state ...

The modern scientific method dates all the way back to the days of Isaac Newton who, ironically, only went to university because his parents thought he was too poor of a farmer to make anything of himself – so they sent him to read theology (Weisstein, 2011). The climate of research and inquiry produced one of the most transformational minds in all of the history of science. In addition to his laws of motion, he also developed the basis of a scientific method that still guides research and experimentation done in the present day.

Newton’s scientific method boiled down ...

I. Introduction
In this research paper, the relationship between science and religion is examined in terms of the potential for a harmonious coexistence. This is an old debate and currently it is a vitally significant one. The view of science and religion as warring enemies has historic roots. The Catholic Inquisition was known to persecute and execute people considered heretics because of their belief in science and scientific things. The Church found science as an explanation offensive. Galileo Galilei is one of the most well known of the victims of the Inquisition. He was imprisoned and forced to do ...

One of the generally established positions considering the scientific revolution of the XVII century is that the European science (primarily related to the classical natural sciences) originated from it. It is interesting that it emerged at once in the interrelation of all components: theoretical knowledge, its rationale and mathematical description, experimental testing, social structure with network of scientific communication and public application. Among the phrases that can best show the way of thinking that started acting at that time, there is one William Gilbert wrote in his Preface: “LIFE is a Chemical Process: In that of every Individual there has been some new material thrown in, or a new mode has been adopted, of conducting the process; the result is always interesting; for the subject of the experiment is Man” (Gilbert 1).

Introduction

Atoms have become an important study item not only in the scientific field, but also in the overall study field. Atoms have a basic meaning as being a unit of any chemical element. This is only but a basic understanding of what an atom is. Atoms have a history from which it got its basic definition dating back to the Greek period. Early Greek ideas about atoms were diverse based on what the perception and mentality was. The understanding of atoms in the ancient Greek empire was more of a philosophical than scientific. The basic thought during the ancient ...

Introduction

Physics remains a very useful field in the modern technological lives. Without physics, there would be very little understanding of how things work. Physics creates an understanding of the functioning mechanisms of the world and the different elements through such topics as kinetic energy, laws of motion, laws of gravity, mass, etc. Almost every aspect of people’s lives revolves around physics. Consequently, without physics, there wouldn’t be development such as lighting from electricity sources, motor-vehicles, electricity and so on. Physics is, therefore, an arm of science that involves the study of matter characteristics, energy and ...

Introduction

The purpose of this experiment was to verify Newton’s second law of motion. The force and acceleration data was collected by Logger Pro for a cart moved back and forth. This data was used to analyse the relationship between force, acceleration and mass. It was hypothesised that the acceleration would directly be proportional to applied force but inversely proportional to the mass of the cart.

Since the beginning of the early civilizations, man tried to understand the world around him and why events take place. Some tried to put symbols to non-living things and even on natural occurrences, while many turned to religion to explain the meaning of life and the mystery behind the creation story. However, there were a few who deviated from this unyielding faith in religious preaching and sought to answer the world’s many mysteries through their own studies. In Europe, this desire to solve these mysteries escalated into a conflict between religion and science that resulted to the advent ...

During the early years of the 14th century, most of the western civilizations are active in spreading their Christian faith. They have travel half way across the globe in order to fulfill their religious duties as well as expand their political territories. Religion has been powerful during this time and anyone who opposes their beliefs is commonly punished (Henry 3). However, there are also some who are taking the odds against religion and looking up into the sky for answers about the cosmos and other realities of life. These people are the creators and initiators of the modern science ...

The epigraph mentioned in the question has been taken from the journal The Medieval Church Encounters the Classical Tradition. This blame on medieval ages is most often credited to the Christian Churches for throwing away the minute sparks of science and other creative activities.
However, the conformation of the scholars to this fact has proved to be a major hindrance to the real understanding of the medieval ages. It cannot be denied that the middle ages were the times of political and social turmoil and saw a steep decline in the fields of learning and literacy. But, it is ...

The workplace of today is very different from what it was a few decades ago. Today, globalization and technological advances mean that a lot of companies have transnational business and have businesses and centers spanning the whole globe. The complex immigration patterns and the increased movement of people across national and international borders for professional reasons mean that there is a lot more diversity at the workplace. Therefore, the typical twenty first century workplace sees a wide range of ethnicities, cultures, races and linguistic capabilities in its workforce. With such diversity, it has become increasingly important for workplaces to ...

“America” is a poem written by Allen Ginsberg in the 1958. The poem revolves around the life of the speaker, who feels overwhelmed by life in U.S. Specifically, the speaker is dissatisfied with the level of capitalism in the country, which makes him admire his communist upbringing. He also conveys his admiration for Marxism. Although there are several literary strategies (put forward by different theorists) on the best means to interpret a text, none would be more appropriate than Michael Foucault’s in analyzing Ginsberg’s poem.
In his articles “The Archaeology of Knowledge” and “What is an Author?” ...

Physics is a part of natural science that entails study of matter and its movement around space, time and its relation to force and energy. Physics revolves around us in our day to day activities and without it; nothing can function or operate swiftly. Different significant contributions like understanding and advancements in electromagnetism have been fuelled by the unending knowledge of physics.

MANAGEMENT OF CHANGE

Education: Management of Change
Preparing very young children for school has been shown to be a prediction of future success as the child continues their education through elementary and secondary schools. Countries prioritize the need for early age or preschool education by creating programs to meet the needs of the young children. A framework for U.K. children up to five years old called Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) was established in 2007 by the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF). The core curriculum initiative I used was to include observations of how the children reacted to change in ...

The Copernican revolution is a paradigm shift from the Ptolemaic model of the universe that has postulated that the Earth is the center of the universe, a heliocentric model with the Sun at the center of our solar system. This event was one of the starting points of the beginning of the scientific revolution of the XVI century. Copernican theory was tantamount to a revolutionary restructuring not only in astronomy and science, but also in the methods of scientific research and knowledge. It has led to radical changes in the way of thinking of scientists, turning it from conventional ...

“There are only two ways in which humankind can produce knowledge: through passive observation or through active experiment.” To what extent do you agree with this statement?
The argument whether knowledge can be attained through passive observation or active experiment defines the meaning of knowledge. When you look at two people argue, philosophers argue this is passive knowledge of the argument as you are not actively being engaged in the argument. However, as you argue with your friend, this is defined as active knowledge since you are in a position to experience the argument and get to know something ...
