Reflecting Telescope Telescope A telescope is an instrument that aids in the observation of remote objects by collecting electromagnetic radiation (such as visible light). The first known practical telescopes were invented in the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century‚ using glass lenses. Today‚ the reflecting telescope is considered as one of the most powerful scientific instruments ever invented. Within a few decades‚ the reflecting telescope was invented‚ which used mirrors. In the 20th

Avid exploration helped to usher the study of nature to the forefront of the 18th and 19th centuries‚ as scientists examined diverse locations around the world as compared to what was already known. Utilizing newly learned methodology‚ old myths were debunked and new ideas were put in front of the public. These new contrary ideas were not only growing in the field of science‚ but also flowed over into the realms of religion‚ the arts‚ politics and the social ways of all citizens. The scientific movement

“Scientific Revolution” The Scientific Revolution began in 1543 when Nicolaus Copernicus published his book De reloutionibus erbium colestium also known as On The Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres. In this book he wrote about his new theory which broke the old Ptolemaic theory. Copernicus argued that the sun does not revolve around the Earth like the Ptolemaic theory said. He said that the Earth revolves around the Sun and the Sun is the center of the universe. Even though this theory went better

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Introduction Balloon powered car racers are driven by air coming from a deflating balloon. Instead of using electricity‚ these cars make use of the Law of Action and Reaction. The car is propelled forward‚ as a result of the air coming from an inflated balloon. As a reaction to the force produced by the escaping air‚ a force acts towards the opposite direction thereby pushing the car racer forward. Although balloon powered car racers have been around for quite

accelerations for each trial and they are: 7.88 m/s squared‚ 6.78 m/s squared‚ 6.07 m/s squared‚ 5.57 m/s squared‚ 4.32 m/s squared‚ and 5.11 m/s squared. It’s possible to use any two points to figure out and calculate acceleration due to gravity. Sir Isaac Newton used the word “mass” as a synonym for “quantity of matter.” Today‚ we precisely define mass as a “measure of inertia of a body.” The more mass an object has the more difficult it is to change it’s state of motion‚ whether it is at rest or moving without
