Essay on Archimedes

Raphael Hohstadt walked through the windy desert of Ceani. The wind-blown sand had made Raphael’s goggles very dirty, and it was hard to see out of them. His once-sandy-blonde hair was dark with dirt and grease. His eyes matched his dirty hair, and the loose parka he wore. His tight black shirt was zipped all the way up to the front of his face, hiding the mask that he wore over his nose and mouth to block him from breathing the toxins in the air. He had green cargo pants on, with the pockets filled

Introduction: Pi has been used for the past 250 years. The first zero in pi comes after the first 31 digits. Archimides was the first person to study pi in the ancient times. Objective: The objective for this lab was to determine an experimental value for pi by measuring sixteen different round objects, and calculate the percent error between the experimental value and the accepted value. Hypothesis: If the circumference and diameter are measured on a round object then the relationship of the graph

To begin, did you know tin foil can float with pennies? Rapping tin foil like a boat and putting pennies in the boat. I can see how strong tin foil is and what brand is the best. Buoyancy the ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid. Buoyancy the ability or tendency to float in water or air or some other fluid. I will tell you about an upward force of the fluid which resists the weight of immersed objects. The density of the atmosphere depends on the altitude. Can you

Archimedes was born in Syracuse, Italy in 287 BC to a mathematician/astronomer in Sicily. Some believe that his family belonged to the noble class of Italy while some believe that they are related to King Hiero II of Syracuse; however, there is little information about the early life of the famous mathematician Archimedes. Archimedes' life and research into the field of mathematics gave the world many principals that are still in popular use today and are accepted as correct applications of math

Archimedes was one of the greatest inventors and mathematicians in history. He lived in ancient Greece during the third century B.C. He enjoyed physics, engineering, and mechanics. At times Archimedes would be so focused on his work, he would absolutely forget to eat and sleep. Archimedes was born 287 B.C. in Syracuse, Sicily. His father, Phidias, was an intelligent astronomer.Therefore Archimedes grew up in a home that was centered around science and math. Like all other boys of his time, Archimedes

Many things can’t be explained, but I have explained a few things that might seem confusing. If distance equals rate times time, than how fast the object is going, and how long the object is staying in the air is key. The machine that works faster and keeps the object in the air longer should be better than the other. Unless there is a difference in the objects, as such as one might be lighter, or float to stay in the air longer. Or if one object is more aerodynamic than the other. The area in the

Leila is eight years old and lives in Calgary, AB, with her mom, dad, big sister named Annika, and cat named Clara. For three years of her life, she lived in Hong Kong. Leila enjoys writing, drawing, playing piano, and skiing. I wonder where this path leads, wondered Nancy. The mountains were very beautiful, so Nancy was amazed! She looked around and saw the sun peeking through the bright-green, summer leaves. She felt so happy that her parents had let her go on a hike on her own. Nancy felt as

Pythagoras was a Greek mathematician who was born around 569 BC in Samos, Ionia, which is in Greece and died around 475 BC. Pythagoras is extremely important in the field of mathematics and made many contributions to geometry. Not much is known about the early life of Pythagoras. However, it is known that his father, Mnesarchus, was a merchant and that Pythagoras traveled frequently with his father (“Pythagoras of Samos,” n.d.). Thales and Anaximander were philosophers who are believed to have

As I was walking back to my attendance line coming from lunch I saw a glimpse of the shiny red fire alarm. “Hey Mason!” I quickly turned to see who was calling to me. It was my friend Logan. Logan and I have been neighbors for about 5 years, and ever since he moved we had been really good friends. Because our last names were close in alphabetical order, we also ended up standing next to each other in attendance lines. We were staring out the window wishing we could be outside playing on the play

Anyone who has ever encountered a circle in math class has faced the issue of finding the circumference and area, or both, of that circle. Additionally, anyone who has attempted to accomplish that task has come into contact with Pi, denoted by the Greek letter π. Pi, pronounced “pie,” represents the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter and has a numerical value of 3.14159… Simple enough. Now, we are introduced to τ, or “tau”, which connects the circumference of a circle to its radius
