Aristotle was perhaps the first in the Western tradition to look at mechanics in any sort of structured way. A philosopher, rather than physicist, Aristotle thought about the way objects interact with each other, particularly their motions. One of the ideas to come from Aristotle’s work is that objects “like” to remain at rest. This seems rather reasonable put a book on a table and it remains still, push it gently and it will move until you stop. This begs the question, though what happens when

1. (5) famous physicist in their invention. Denis Papin (22 August 1647 - c. 1712) was a French physicist, mathematician andinventor, best known for his pioneering invention of the steam digester, the forerunner of the steam engine and of the pressure cooker. Thomas Alva Edison (February 11, 1847 – October 18, 1931) was an American inventorand businessman. He developed many devices that greatly influenced life around the world, including the phonograph, the motion picture camera, and a long-lasting

rushing downwards through many loops and twists, is enough to keep one’s adrenaline pumping. But what is the secret of the roller coaster? How is it possible for it to work this way? The answer is science. Many may not know, but science, specifically physics, has a lot to do with roller coasters. The roller coaster is actually powered by many types of energy: mechanical, potential, and kinetic. Mechanical energy is ‘the energy acquired by the objects upon which work is done.’ (Definition of Mechanical

Discussion #3 For this experiment we measured gravitational acceleration and velocity of a cart getting pushed up a ramp. First we had to make a prediction of how a velocity and acceleration graph would look like with a cart going up the ramp. After that we actually started to do the experiment. We then went to the computer which would help us graph our measurements of each time we did the experiment. It measured velocity, acceleration, and position of the cart each time. We did the experiment

teacher and politician who lived in Florence from 1370 to 1450. Galileo Galilei was an Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the scientific revolution. Galileo has been called the "father of modern physics Galileo's theoretical and experimental work on the motions of bodies, along with the largely independent work of Kepler and René Descartes, was a precursor of the classical mechanics developed by Sir Isaac Newton. Galileo conducted several experiments

REAL WORLD PHYSICS Did you know that Physics and Sports cannot be separated? In sports, athletes need to apply the concepts of Physics. But the application of Physics is not just limited to the machineries but also on how people should move the parts of their body. If successfully applied, well it can increase an athlete’s performance. But there are far more reasons why I believe Physics is a spectator of sports: firstly the physics of ice skating or figure skating which was shown in the movie
