Sarah DeGarso Isaac Newton Isaac Newton made a multitude of discoveries that are still relevant in today’s academia. Many people have referred to him as one of the most important scientist that has ever lived. He is mostly known by his Theory of Universal Gravity and laws of motion‚ Newton’s laws‚ but he also influenced the areas of math and optics. Newton had a passion for alchemy and astrology. Today Newton’s laws of motion and gravity theory are still taught in schools as one of the most fundamental

Personal Statement As the years have progressed my interest in biochemistry has vastly grown as I became more engrossed in the As a child I recognised my strengths in the sciences; in logical thinking‚ problem solving and the practical nature of these subjects. All concepts of chemistry appeal to me‚ especially learning about how life itself revolves around elements and compounds. It motivates me to think that I could contribute to new discoveries tha would improve people’s standard

Fawzi Abdelgani Ahmad . Experiment 1: Experimental Uncertainty (Error) and Data Analysis Jan/30/2013 PRELAB: 1. Do experimental measurements give the rule value of a physical quantity? Explain. No. Statistical methods are used to establish the deviations in the measurement. 2. Distinguish between random (statistical) error and systematic error‚ and give an example of each. Random errors are caused by unknown and unpredictable changes in the experiment like mechanical

To determine the heating and cooling curve of water Design: What we are going to do is investigate the phase changes and what the heating curve of water is. We are going to do this is by heating up 100ml of water on a Bunsen burner then adding ice cubes. Use a thermometer to measure the temperature every 30 seconds until it reaches a plateau. Hypothesis: As more time passes‚ the temperature of the water increases. Independent variable: Time Dependent variable: Changing water temperature

The relationship between mass and time of oscillation of a slinky Introduction In the 1950’s‚ Richard James accidentally discovered what we called today as the ‘slinky’. As he was trying to engineer a way to keep sensitive ship equipment steady at sea‚ he accidentally knocked some springs off the shelf which caused them to fall. He noticed that these springs appeared to be gracefully “walking” down the shelves instead of them simply falling down. James’ accidental discovery sparked way for further
