Of all of the many scientists who played a major role in the formation of the atomic theory‚ it is believed that Dalton‚ Rutherford‚ Thompson‚ Bohr‚ and Planck are the five most influential. The research of this theory has gone on for many years and each and every one of them have brought us closer to our current understanding of the atom today. Each one of them played a special role in the development process of the atom and most importantly‚ they all reflected on one another. Many influential scientists

New Thinkers‚ New Ideas The Scientific Revolution of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries changed the way educated people looked at the world. A new tone of thinking emerged creating a foundation that would later be built on by enlightened thinkers. Controversial views would soon challenge faith-based ideals‚ which in turn would test the power and authority of the church. No longer did people listen to beliefs from the past‚ people looked at new ideas of the future‚ ideas that made mathematical

The Scientific Revolution marked the end of the Renaissance‚ and with it the beginning of the modern world view‚ and its contributions. The rise of the Renaissance brought about contributions from myriads of different subjects such as physics‚ astronomy‚ and chemistry. These scientific views helped change the way that we view our world now. The Scientific Revolution began in Europe towards the end of the Renaissance period‚ which was the revival of art‚ literature and architecture. The Scientific

During the Scientific Revolution many great discoveries were made such as J. Kepler’s and Galileo’s findings on plant placement(1609)‚ Sir Isaac Newton’s laws of motion(1680)‚ and the Telescope(1609)‚ but which of these discoveries lead to greater finding of the Scientific Revolution. With the telescope J. Kepler and Galileo could continue their research on plant placement . In fact I can prove that the telescope was one of the greatest discoveries/inventions of the Scientific Revolution because

different bodies. Freaction Faction = − Freaction Faction Second Law of Motion When a net external force acts on a body‚ the body accelerates in the direction of the force. F = ma where‚ m = mass of the body a = acceleration due to F Unit : N = Newton = kg • m / s 2 Acceleration depends upon the force producing it‚ as well as on the mass of the body upon which the force has been applied. It is proportional to the force but inversely proportional to the mass. Force and mass are not dependent on
