...In Sixteenth-and seventeenth-century, the precious metals - silver was assigned as standard currencies by British government. The value of the coins was reflected by the bullion value that was the radio of the metal content to denomination. However, the England silver coinage were threatened by some unethical individuals and governments’ actions that physically alternated, debased, devalued, or revalued it. (Black, Module 4, Topic 4.4). The manual minted sliver coins at the time were often irregular in size and shape. Besides, after periods of usage, the old sliver coins were naturally worn and torn which normally had thinner edges. The bullion content of these coins became less weight than legal coins. Some unscrupulous speculators took a chance that deliberately minted with short-weight bullion content, or physically clipping or filling little segments of precious metals from the proper coins. The silver chips would be collected and illegally melted by individuals, then smuggled to the foreign countries. “When the debased money was circulating along the legal coins, the latter will tend to be exported, leaving only the inferior money in the circulation.” Gresham described these unethical practices as “bad money drives out good”. (Black, Module 4, Topic 4.4) Because the clipped coins were not liable to the public, it was habitually accepted only for less than their stamped value. On the other hand, people tended to use these suspicious coins to pay taxes. Oppositely, the British...

...Application Assignment #3 – Equilibrium and Electrochemistry According to Chemicool chelation is the “formation or presence of bonds between two or more separate binding sites within the same ligand and a single central atom” (chemicool). Chelation therapy is a process in which reduction of toxic effects of metals within the human body take place. The agents often bind to the toxic ions and form structures that are then easily excreted. Most agents are made up of atoms like Sulphur, Nitrogen and Oxygen functioning as ligand atoms. As metals release toxic substances into the human body the need for an agent to try and reduce the toxicity for our well being is necessary. Most of the heavy are toxic such as lead, copper and zinc which accumulate in the human body. The process of chelation causes a chemical reaction involving a shift of equilibrium to remove the metals before the organs get permanently damaged. The shift in equilibrium occurs because when the agent is introduced to the body to try and reduce the effects, with the body being the system it tries to re-establish equilibrium by shifting from left to right. Barium sulphate is usually made by a combination of a solution of the ions and salts of barium and sulphate. Barium being a heavy metal is highly toxic. In colour it is a white solid with a crystal structure. The reason that Barium sulphate salt is used is that the ions of Barium are opaque to x-rays and can absorb the rays much better than other compounds. Without...

...interest in mathematics and mechanics, this led him to persuade Newton’s mother to send him to Trinity. While in college, Newton served the wealthier students in order to pay for his tuition. He excelled in chemistry and mathematics. Whenever he was not studying for his classes, Newton usually conducted experiments and solved complex equations. For his chemical experiments, he bought prisms, different chemicals, and a furnace. In 1669, Newton was elected as a Lucasian professor after the previous professor read a paper by him entitled Analysis per Equationes Numero Terminorum Infinitas. As a professor, he mostly gave lectures on optics. In 1672, Newton was elected to be a member of the Royal Society for his research in optics and the invention of the reflecting telescope. While a fellow of the Royal Society, Newton published many theories that are considered scientific laws today. Newton theorized that light was made up of many particles, and that white light was a combination of many different colors. This theory was contrary to the theory of Robert Hooke, who was a very experienced scientist in many fields. Hooke believed that light was made up of waves rather than particles. Hooke aggressively criticized Newton’s theory, which led Newton to defend his theory and its importance to optics. This rivalry between Robert Hooke and Isaac Newton lasted until Hooke’s death. Not long after, Newton suffered from a mental breakdown. To make matters worse, his mother died the following year...

...outcome of the plague, Newton returned to his birthplace, Woolsthorpe, and begun an era of deep study and in a variety of scientific areas, including astronomy, mathematics and mechanics (Westfall, 2010). In 1667 Newton returned to Cambridge to complete a Master of Arts degree. Newton developed a close relationship with Professor Isaac Barrow, who was the Lucasian chair in mathematics at Cambridge. Borrow advocated Newton's research in Mathematics, and as a result Newton was appointed mathematics professor in 1669. (Westfall, 2010). In 1696 Newton was appointed Master of the Mint, the highest position within the English Royal Mint and he departed Cambridge for London (Westfall, 2010). In his later ages Newton expended his time studying alchemy and theology. Although Newton stopped most of his scientific experiments, he was regarded as the dean of English science and was elected President of the Royal Society in 1703. By the end of his life, Newton was one of the most famous men in England. He had also become a wealthy man. Sir Isaac Newton was knighted in 1705 and died in 1727. Sir Isaac Newton did not marry; instead he kept a number of close friends with whom he lived a long life till his death at age 84. He is regarded as a sage who has made contributions, conducted experiments and...

...masters of art degree and became a Professor of Mathematics which allowed him to put in order his earlier optical research. Hatch, R (N.d.) Newton believed that white light is a mixture of many types of rays refracted at different angles which produces a wide variety of different colors. It was based on this theory, that Newton developed and built the first reflecting telescope in 1668, an upgrade from prior designs from other inventors. International Space Hall of Fame (N.d) In 1672, he was elected to the Royal Society and published his first paper, a study on the nature of color. Hatch,R (N.d.) For the most part, generally the paper was well received with the exception of Robert Hooke and Christiaan Huygens. “Both these scientists claimed that Newton failed to prove that light consistent of the motion of small particles rather than waves”. Newton biography (N.d) For next six years Newton had many disagreements with Robert Hooke, the curator of experiments for the Royal Society. In 1675, he wrote another paper and Hooke claimed he stole some of his results which were totally incorrect. This downward turn of events led him to a serious emotional breakdown in 1678. While recovery from a breakdown his mother passed away and that same year he returned to his research in celestial mechanics and alchemy. Hatch, R (N.d.)

For younger students, a simpler explanation of the information on this page is available on theKid's Page. | The motion of an aircraft through the air can be explained and described by physical principals discovered over 300 years ago by Sir Isaac Newton. Newton worked in many areas of mathematics and physics. He developed the theories ofgravitation in 1666, when he was only 23 years old. Some twenty years later, in 1686, he presented his three laws of motion in the "Principia Mathematica Philosophiae Naturalis." The laws are shown above, and the application of these laws to aerodynamics are given on separate slides.Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force. This is normally taken as the definition of inertia. The key point here is that if there is no net force acting on an object (if all the external forces cancel each other out) then the object will maintain a constant velocity. If that velocity is zero, then the object remains at rest. If an external force is applied, the velocity will change because of the...

...Final Paper Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton were both very influential figures concerning science. They both discovered ground breaking things in the physics world. Albert Einstein was a German-born theoretical physicist who developed the general theory of relativity. This is one of the biggest parts of physics alongside with quantum mechanics. Sir Isaac Newton was an English physicist and mathematician who are commonly referred to as one of the most influential scientists of all time as well as a key figure in the scientific revolution. Newton formulated the laws of motion and the universal gravitation that dominated scientists’ view of the physical universe for over the next three centuries. He also has demonstrated that the motion of objects on the Earth and that the celestial bodies could be described by the same principles. When he was deriving Kepler’s laws of planetary motion from his mathematical description of gravity, Newton removed any of the people’s last doubts about the validity of the model of the cosmos that was heliocentric. Near the start of Albert Einstein’s career he was beginning to think that Newtonian mechanics was no longer enough to reconcile the laws of classical mechanics with the laws of the electromagnetic field. While he was doing this it led him to his special theory of relativity. Thus he realized that the principle of relativity could also be extended to the gravitational fields, and this sparked his subsequent theory of gravitation in 1916...

...Who are those scientists? Write briefly on their achievements in sciences. * Aristotle (384-322 BC) Aristotle was born in North Greece to a physician of Royal family of Macedonia; He studied philosophy in in Plato’s Academy in Athens. After leaving Athens, Aristotle travelled and had some study on biology. As he returned to his home town he opened a school there name Lyceum. During the Athens dominance on Macedonia, he left his land to save his life and soon after his departure from Macedonia he died. There are 150 philosophical materials written by Aristotle. His writings includes lectures also on philosophy, biology, physics and politics. He had contribution in Zoology as well, his observations about sea organisms like Octopus, cuttlefish were accurate and fact on those early times. Arsitotle first segregated the genera of living organisms, categorized the animals into two categories. He also had contribution in Metrology. * Aristarchus (310-230 BC) He was one of the great astronomer and mathematician of the Greece history. He was the first one to give the concept of sun as center of the universe. He claimed that sun is the main source of flame. He contributed towards calculating the distance between sun and moon. He was strong in geometry in give resources and knowledge of that time, but his research and work on astronomy made the base for today’s advancements in this field. * Nicolas Copernicus (1473 – 1543) Nicola Copernicus was also one of the leading...

Herbs: Leaves, stems, and flowers of aromatic plants * Fresh: More aromatic; cleaner flavor * Dried: Stronger, but often harsher flavor; less expensive; crumbling lightly before use will release oils USING HERBS Fresh herbs *Ready to eat foods-add as early as possible to allow the flavor to be released *Cooked foods-add toward the end to prevent bitter flavors and burnt looking herbs Dried Herbs *Ready to eat foods-early in the cooking process *Cooked foods-early in the cooking process *If the recipe calls for fresh and you are using dried you need to ½ the amount. HISTORY As far back as 5000 BCE, Sumerians used herbs in medicine. Ancient Egyptians used fennel, coriander and thyme around 1555 BCE. In ancient Greece, in 162 CE, a physician by the name of Galen was known for concocting complicated herbal remedies that contained up to 100 ingredients. CULINARY HERBS Culinary herbs are distinguished from vegetables in that, like spices, they are used in small amounts and provide flavor rather than substance to food. Culinary herbs can come in two different forms. They can be in their natural state which is straight from the garden or bought in...
