Purpose: During our lab‚ Galileo’s Water Clock‚ we created our lab to describe the motion of a ball on a plane using the water clock as an alternative method for measuring time. Our main purpose in this lab was to determine if the displacement of the ball is determined by the time or the time squared. Procedure: Once the water clock was set up‚ a ball was let go from the ramp at various distances for three trials each. Once the ball was let go‚ the water clamp was opened and then immediately

while mass is the amount of matter in an object‚ the measure of an object’s resistance to motion. 3. How does mass affect the motion of an object? The greater the mass‚ the harder it is to speed up or slow down an object. 4. What finding(s) did Galileo uncover regarding falling objects? He conducted an experiment from the leaning tower of pisa (probably false)‚ with cannon balls‚ and dropped them and found out that even though objects could have different weights‚ they fall at the same speed. He

This ended up as a wonderful treat for Galileo as he rightfully took place at the chair of mathematics at the University of Pisa in 1598. His first biographer‚ Vicenzo Viviani‚ claimed Galileo dropped items of disparate weights from the Leaning Tower. This proved that the speed an object falls isn’t proportional to weight. With these facts he created produced yet another

Protestant Reformation and the Scientific Revolution are alike in many ways. One way whey they are alike is that they both wanted change. When Martin Luther didn’t want to believe what the church tells him in the Protestant Reformation‚ and how Galileo Galilei didn’t want to believe Ptolemy’s observations because‚ they were wrong. In the Protestant Reformation Martin Luther rejected the Church’s statement that doing good deed would give you salvation‚ he held the Bible up as the sole source of religion

Ancient Babylonians were known for their scientific and mathematic achievements‚ such as heliocentric astronomy‚ planets orbited in circles‚ and base 60 counting. At the same time‚ Ancient Babylonians believed in magic and gods. In 14th century BCE‚ Code of Hammurabi‚ specified‚ “"If a man has put a spell upon another man and it is not justified‚ he upon whom the spell is laid shall go to the holy river; into the holy river shall he plunge.

remarkable period of discovery and growth in history. It preceded the Enlightenment and it was a time in which modern science truly came to light. It changed the way people viewed the physical world around them. Freethinkers such as Giordono Bruno and Galileo Galilei and Scientists such as Isaac Newton and Nicolaus Copernicus played a pivotal role during this period as they questioned traditional beliefs set out by the Church regarding the workings of the Universe. The Ancient world was constructed around

Science Essay The question I chose is how the scientific method has changed over time and if it is more less effective at achieving its goals? I will discuss this question in both sides during this essay. I preferred this question than the other questions because it is a strong question and I would like to discover more and research deeply in this investigation. The scientific method has been existing over a thousand years ago to be specific the science method started in the 17th century and

Does awareness and knowledge determine whether you show conformity or not? Both Boxer‚ beloved horse of animal farm‚ and Galileo Galileo‚ iconic scientist‚ both had the opportunity to be aware of the ideas of the leaders in their life. Though both had the opportunity to become aware of the ideas of their leaders‚ Boxer chose to ignore becoming aware‚ while Galileo became educated and did not conform to the societal ideas. Conformity comes with the idea of being aware of the of ideas of those around
