    experiment is about the physics principles of the laws of motion and the inclined plane. The laws of motion are called newtons laws. There are three laws. These laws are an object at rest tends to stay at rest and an object in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. This is the law of inertia. The second law is F=ma and the third law is every action has an equal or opposite

    Newton’s First Law (aka inertia) states that an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. If a car was travelling at 80km/hr, everything inside the car including the passengers will also be travelling at 80km/hr. If that car hits a brick wall, the car

    Space Shuttle The launch of the space shuttle Endeavour follows Isaac Newton’s Law of Motion. Newton made three theories about gravitation that was publish in 1687. Newton used this law to explain the motion in object. We could use these three laws to explain how we will able to launch Endeavour into space. Isaac Newton First Law states “Every object persist in its state of rest or uniform motion in a straight line unless its compelled to change that state by force impressed on it”. When the Endeavour

    Have you ever stopped and thought who make the 3 laws of motion. Well the one and only Isaac newton of course created the 3 laws of motion. This is going to be about newton’s 3 laws of motion and his life story. Isaac Newton is a physicist, mathematician, scientist, philosopher, and an astronomer. He was born january 4, 1643, in woolsthorpe england. He died march 31, 1727 in london, england, united kingdom. “Isaac was established physicist and mathematician, and is credited as one of the greatest

    Renee Descartes was born in March 31, 1596 in Touraine France and died in Sweden on February 11, 1650. His major contribution was his discovering analytical geometry which he published in 1638 in a book called, “La Geometrie” (Burdette, n.d.). This remarkable discovery was the application of algebra to geometry (Burdette, n.d.). What Descartes did was to plant the idea of finding a point in a plane by using ordered pairs which led to the birth of the Cartesian coordinate system (Burdette, n.d

    After a slight phase in which the riders are delayed in the air, the car abruptly drops and begins to accelerate towards the ground following the impact of the earth's gravity. The fall seems climactic. Just as Galileo and Newton demonstrate in their principles of free fall, the riders fall to the earth with the same rate of acceleration. If the riders were permitted to hit the earth at that rate, reaching to an unexpected stop at the end of the ride, it would certainly cause serious injuries. Ride

    Throughout history, especially during the Middle Ages, numerous weapons and tools were invented in order to aid in the victory of battles. Such examples would include the catapult, a device in which collected tension is suddenly released to hurl an object some distance, in particular. Catapults are actually very much related to physics and the world of mathematics, due to its function, and the result of how it works. For Ms. Csigi’s math class, the class decided to complete an assignment where individual

    His use of methods involving "one or more orders of the infinitesimally small" is present in his De motu corporum in gyrum of 1684 and in his papers on motion "during the two decades preceding 1684". Newton had been reluctant to publish his calculus because he feared controversy and criticism. He was close to the Swiss mathematician Nicolas Fatio de Duillier. In 1691, Duillier started to write a new version

    Why Do You Dragster? Co2 Dragsters are wooden model dragster cars. The reason why these cars are called Co2 dragsters is because; to make the cars go you have to use Co2 cartridges. This cartridge is put on the back of the car, and when the bottle is pierced pressurized air spurts out of the cartridge causing the dragster to go forward at very fast speeds. Now that you know what Co2 dragsters are, we can talk about how the design and shape of the dragster affects the speed. Aero dynamics

    force and motion are deeply explained. Scientists believe Isaac Newton invented physics, as we know it today and reestablished order to the heavens and the earth. In fact, Galileo’s visions are explained by Newton’s equations. Newton described the motion of almost everything on the surface of the earth in three fundamental principles. These principles are known as Newton’s laws. To find force, mass and acceleration have to be multiplied together. Therefore, the science of motion can be summarized
