Two of them are Thomas hobbes who is an English Philosopher‚ and then later came along John Locke‚ another English philosopher and physician. Both of them were deeply influenced by the scientific revolution. One of the most crucial things in our intellectual history is the Scientific Revolution. The Scientific Revolution was a change in the way

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 acceleration

Humans live on a small planet in a tiny part of a vast universe. "This part of the universe is called the solar system‚ and is dominated by a single brilliant star-the sun." (Skywatching 230) The solar system is the earth ’s neighbourhood and the planets Mercury‚ Venus‚ Mars‚ Jupiter‚ Saturn‚ Uranus‚ Neptune and Pluto are the Earth ’s neighbours. They all have the same stars in the sky and orbit the same sun. Scientists believe the solar system began about 5 billion years ago‚ perhaps when

The Scientific Revolution was caused by a number of preceding events‚ such as the Renaissance. The Renaissance occurred from 1300 to 1600‚ and was a rebirth of learning after Europe emerged from the Dark Ages. The Renaissance inspired a spirit of curiosity and change from learning that aided the Scientific Revolution by developing a higher education that enabled them to make opinions for themselves. Furthermore‚ the Renaissance allowed people to question both the Church and the olden ways‚ which

Origins of the Universe 1.Identify the current theory of the formation of the universe. The big bang theory. 2.Describe the Doppler effect. The Doppler Effect is when waves moving away from you have a longer wavelength (lowpitch) and waves moving towards you have a shorter wavelength (high pitch) 3.Explain how the Doppler effect gives us information about the movement of stars andgalaxies. Stars moving away from us are red shifted (light of longer wavelength) while stars movingtowards us are

The Genesis and Development of a Scientific Fact was written by Ludwick Fleck in 1935 to predict the truth of scientific facts. Fleck discusses the way in which scientific facts develop and changes over time. According to Fleck‚ scientific facts are developed through the human cognition and through a social construction. Cognition is a social activity. As information passes from one person to another‚ it loses its original intent or meaning. The thought is changed as it passes from one individual

Galileo and Newton 2/4/97 Galileo believed the physical world to be bounded. He says that all material things have "this or that shape" and are small or large in relation to other things. He also says that material objects are either in motion or at rest‚ touching or not touching some other body‚ and are either one in number‚ or many. The central properties of the material world are mathematical and strengthened through experimentation. Galileo excludes the properties of tastes‚ odors‚ colors

Isaac Newton once said‚ “I have stood on the shoulders of giants.” Explain this statement and explain how Newton was the product of time and circumstance. When Isaac Newton said‚ “I have stood on the shoulders of giants‚” he demonstrated that he knew his place in the scientific community. In the relay race of astronomic science‚ Newton was the last of the runners to be passed the baton‚ and he‚ adding to the work of many great scientific minds before him‚ sprinted the home stretch. Newton understood
