the only basic law governing the universe was the principal of change and that nothing remains in the same state indefinitely. This observation made him one of the first scholars in ancient physics to address the role of time in the universe, one of the most important concepts even in the modern history of physics. The early physicist Leucippus (first half of 5th century BCE) adamantly opposed the idea of direct divine intervention in the universe, instead proposing that natural phenomena had a natural

astronomy was widely rejected by his countrymen. His contributions to physics also place him in the ranks of the greatest scientists of all time. Without Galileo’s contributions to astronomy, mathematics, and physics, we would lack many basic understandings of the universe and our world. Body Galileo Galilei was the son of a musician born in Pisa, Italy in 1564. He studied medicine, but his interests laid in mathematics and physics. At age twenty-five, he became a professor of mathematics at Pisa

Conceptual Physics Assignment 1 Part 1: Essay Style Question: Why does an asteroid explode when it hits the earth? This is simply an application of the laws of physics. It is caused by the large amount of mass contained in an asteroid, moving at such a high velocity with an enormous amount of kinetic energy. For example: and the . Take an example radius of 10km. Therefore the and the We can then calculate the Kinetic Energy of the Asteroid using: Taking an example velocity of 30 km/s this gives

“Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity." Have you ever heard people talk about the things they would do if they won the lottery, and yet a large percentage of these people never go out and buy a ticket. These people have exactly a zero chance of winning, while the ones who went out and bought a ticket have a chance, albeit slim, at becoming lucky. This is the scenario that came to mind when I first read the quote “Luck is a matter of preparation meeting opportunity”. However, the

Private experience with learning at university including time and space management. How did the time management theory help me with learning. Time and space management are very important matters to almost all people, who like to have their life organized. They are crucial while studying, doing projects or another types of work where the time given is strictly limited. When it comes to my private experience considering learning at the university, it is positive. First of all, and the most

I think a theory is one's opinion. If you had two people, each with a different approach they could use the same theory and have two different outcomes of the theories. Depending upon the individual them self. I base my decision on the contingency approach. The contingency approach to management clearly states that there are no "one best way" to do something. More than likely two managers are not going to deal with a problem the exact same way. Although any theory or practice may work

How I understood everything on the choice theories and how they relate to crime is it is not the matter the subjective theory that everyone considers. It’s every theory. In every theory can be turn into a crime. It is just depends on how you look in between the lines to see it. Most people don’t see it. I do agree with the criminology theory. But it what other factors can be included to determine the subjective view of choice from media, history, rational involvements. There is always evidence to
