However‚ few people heard about the contribution of the Ancient Greeks in other sciences like medicine‚ which was made by Hippocrates‚ or mathematics and geometry by Pythagoras‚ Euclid and Archimedes and fewer know about technological achievements of the Ancient Greeks. Among these achievements we can find automatic doors‚ steam engine‚ air and water pumps‚ gears‚ astrolabes and clocks. The work principle of some of these inventions is still

described the motion of planets around the sun as elliptical. Much of Kepler’s work laid the groundwork for Newton’s discoveries. 6. Archimedes was an ancient Greek‚ one of the first physicists. He developed many formulas for area of various shapes‚ and he also worked extensively with levers. In addition‚ he described the concept of buoyancy and invented Archimedes’ screw to raise water. 7. Nikola Tesla championed the alternating current of electric flow‚ which is the means by which electric

Any person who has exercised endeavors striving for success would be familiar with the conflict between hard work and luck as the limiting factors of long term achievement. Some people liberate themselves of all responsibility and leave everything to chance. While others‚ leave no stones unturned

While both Galileo and Descartes advocate a more mathematical natural philosophy‚ what they advocate greatly differ from one another. Overall‚ Galileo tries to relate objects in terms of proportions and uses more Archimedean principles like Archimedes’ work on floating bodies and his simple machines. Because of this‚ Galileo’s natural philosophy is mechanical. It is clear that Galileo strives to make natural philosophy a discipline of mathematics. He tries to make mathematics a more respectable science

Title: Laboratory Techniques & Measurements Purpose: To become familiar with the International System of Units and common laboratory equipment and techniques. To learn how to determine volume‚ mass‚ length‚ and temperature of a wide variety of items. To learn how to calculate density and concentration of dilutions. Procedure: I used a ruler‚ thermometer‚ and scale to take measurements. I used a graduated cylinder‚ short step pipet‚ scale‚ and ruler to determine volume and density. I used a

Where is Lake Vostok located? Lake Vostok is located four kilometers under the surface of Antarctica. How many moons does Venus have? Venus has no natural satellites. What is Archimedes’ Principle? Archimedes’ Principle states that "an object is buoyed up with a force equal to the weight of the liquid it displaces." How much weight can a blue whale calf gain in a single day? In the first weeks of life‚ a blue whale calf can gain 250 pounds in one day. Who invented logarithims? Scottish

proved by his predecessors. This man lived in the time of the first Ptolemy; for Archimedes‚ who followed closely upon the first Ptolemy makes mention of Euclid‚ and further they say that Ptolemy once asked him if there were a shorted way to study geometry than the Elements‚ to which he replied that there was no royal road to geometry. He is therefore younger than Plato’s circle‚ but older than Eratosthenes and Archimedes; for these were contemporaries‚ as Eratosthenes somewhere says. In his aim he

10-26-12 3RD Block Mrs. Sneed Hot Air Balloon Report Hot air balloons fill up slowly and then rise in the sky. Two important principles of physics: the ideal gas law and Archimedes’ principle are the reasons hot air balloons fly. The mathematical relationship between the volume pressure and the temperature of a gas is called the ideal gas law. When a gas is heated‚ as in a hot air balloon‚ then its volume will increase. However‚ there is a heater located in the balloon’s basket that heats the

The 7th data using Archimedes’ Method‚ noted that using irregular objects by dropping them in water we got greater volume results then displacement water‚ also the tie of a string gives more mass to object.
