GOBRES GRADE 4 – St. Catherine FOREIGN SCIENTISTS AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS Aristotle Student of Plato and a tutor to Alexander the Great‚ Aristotle was a genius Greek philosopher and scientist of the ancient age. Born on 384 BC‚ Aristotle was a biologist‚ a zoologist‚ ethicist‚ a political scientist and the master of rhetoric and logic. He also gave theories in physics and meta physics. Aristotle gained knowledge in different fields with his expansive mind and prodigious writings

urban areas on consumers located near these cities. Believing that population and distance were not the causes of consumer store choice but could be used as good substitute variables for all the factors influencing consumers’ the law of retail gravitation was developed to explain the strength of one city’s attraction on consumers living near it. In effect‚ this law states that two cities attract retail trade from an intermediate city or town in the vicinity of the breaking point (that is‚ where 50

together. The fourth force‚ the weak nuclear force‚ is responsible for certain types of nuclear reactions and has little bearing on energy sources today. Table 7 shows the four forces‚ the property on which each acts‚ and examples of each force. Gravitation and electromagnetism are the two forces with which we will be primarily concerned‚ as these are the two forces that operate at the macroscopic level of environmental systems. These also currently form the basis of our most prevalent sources for

observational evidence that the universe was expanding. In 1916 Albert Einstein published his Theory of General relativity. The General relativity Theory states that gravitation arises from the curvature of space and time. It also said that the universe was either contracting or expanding. Today the theory is used to describe gravitation in physics. Einstein’s theory was influential to the development of the Big Bang theory because it created the cosmological constant. Alexander Friedmann used Einstein’s

5th Period AP European History 11 November 2011 Unit 4 Essay 3. Isaac Newton once said‚ “I have stood on the shoulders of giants.” Explain this statement and explain how Newton was the product of time and circumstance. When Isaac Newton said‚ “I have stood on the shoulders of giants‚” he demonstrated that he knew his place in the scientific community. In the relay race of astronomic science‚ Newton was the last of the runners to be passed the baton‚ and he‚ adding to the work of many

Worldviews are viewed to be composed of core and peripheral beliefs. Critically assess the implications of changes in such core and peripheral beliefs (Aristotelian‚ Newtonian‚ Einsteinian)‚ for our understanding of scientific inquiry‚ particularly in light of Karl Popper’s theory of falsification. Over the course of history the world has developed and taken many paths to reach where we are today. Collectively‚ we all influence the direction of our society‚ morals‚ views and more significantly‚

¨Scientific Revolution is the concept used to explain the emergence of modern science‚¨ (History.com 1) and Sir Isaac Newton contributed to scientific revolution by formulating theories on light‚ color‚ the Laws of Motion and the Law of Universal Gravitation. Sir Isaac Newton was born on January 4‚ 1643 in Woolsthorpe‚ Lincolnshire England. Newton started creating his theories on light‚ calculus and celestial mechanics while away from

most of classical mechanics. In this work‚ Newton described universal gravitation and the three laws of motion‚ which dominated the scientific view of the physical universe for the next three centuries. Newton showed that the motion of objects on Earth and that of celestial bodies is governed by the same set of natural laws: by demonstrating the consistency between Kepler ’s laws of planetary motion and his theory of gravitation he removed the last doubts about heliocentrism and advanced the scientific

Einstein quickly rose to fame. He received honors and invitations from all over the world.In the year 1921‚ he won the Nobel Price for physics. In his work ‘The Founddation of the General Theory of Relativity’ Einstein took Newton’s Law of Universal Gravitation‚ which states “the force of gravity is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the point masses”‚ and unified it with his own special relativity‚ along with the effects of gravity

Reading Response The Short Proof of Evolution Ian Johnston Humanity has watched the cycle of birth and death for generations after generations‚ therefore‚ it is logical for us to conclude that all living things on earth must have a beginning. However‚ for decades now‚ mankind has not come to an agreement on “the beginning” of everything‚ how and what caused all living things to come to life. Some believe in an intelligent Creator‚ others believe in the making and transforming of things by accidental
