Universal Gravitation Apples had a significant contribution to the discovery of gravitation. The English physicist Isaac Newton (1642-1727) introduced the term "gravity" after he saw an apple falling onto the ground in his garden. "Gravity" is the force of attraction exerted by the earth on an object. The moon orbits around the earth because of gravity too. Newton later proposed that gravity was just a particular case of gravitation. Every mass in the universe attracts every other mass. This is the

Centripetal force (from Latin centrum "center" and petere "to seek"[1]) is a force that makes a body follow a curved path: its direction is always orthogonal to the velocity of the body‚ toward the fixed point of the instantaneous center of curvature of the path. Centripetal force is generally the cause of circular motion. In simple terms‚ centripetal force is defined as a force which keeps a body moving with a uniform speed along a circular path and is directed along the radius towards the centre

How competitive forces shape strategy Pflicht 4. (5Forces) " 1 von 3 While one some- times hears executives complaining to the contrary‚ intense competition in an industry is neither coincidence nor bad luck. Moreover‚ in the fight for market share‚ competition is not manifested only in the other players. Rather‚ competition in an industry is rooted in its underlying economics‚ and competitive forces exist that go well beyond the established combatants in a particular industry. Customers

The Iliad portrays fate and destiny as a superior and predominant force. It introduces the inquiry of who or what is truly accountable for mankind’s destiny‚ yet the answers are unclear. On many occasions‚ man has no control over his fate and destiny‚ but in other instances‚ a man’s destiny exists as a result of his actions and decisions. There is an element of free will. Consequently‚ The Iliad exhibits that human beings sometimes control their fate. In The Iliad the god’s destiny is steered much

= 300g 9.8 3. Explain the effect of mass on Hooke’s Law. Hooke’s Law states that the restoring force of a spring is directly proportional to a small displacement. Applying a mass to the end of the spring stretches it‚ changing the length from its original equilibrium position of rest‚ to a new (lower) equilibrium position. At this position‚ the vertical restoring force of the spring balances the weight and the downward pull of gravity is balanced by the upward pull of the spring

On Free Choice of the Will By Saint Augustine Questions to be addressed: Would a good God let bad things happen? Why does man choose to do evil? For many people‚ nothing drives them away from Religion like pushy‚ preachy people. I don’t feel that I am knowledgeable enough to argue many points when it comes to religion. I’m actually not a huge fan of organized religion myself. Like most things‚ it has its good and bad points‚ but overall‚ anything that brings people to God is great. However‚ you
