when an apple fell on his head. This incident caused Newton to speculate why this had happened‚ and in turn he came up with the law of universal gravitation. While this story isn’t exactly true‚ some aspects of it actually are. Newton wrote about his observations of gravity over the span of several years and he eventually formulated the law of universal gravitation. This law states that all objects in the universe attract each other with a force that is proportional to their masses and inversely proportional

Circular Motion Uniform circular motion is the movement of an object or particle trajectory at a constant speed around a circle with a fixed radius. The fixed radius‚ r‚ is the position of an object in uniform or circular motion relative to to the center of the circle. The length of the position vector of the circle does not change but its direction does as the object follows its circular path. In order to find the object’s velocity‚ one needs to find its displacement vector over the specific

Equants (a point which the centre of a planet’s epicycle moved at a uniform velocity) were used to approximate where planets would be at a certain time. Even though the Ptolemaic model had various defects‚ as astronomers assumed that all the planets revolved at a uniform rate‚ planets revolved in perfect circles‚ and didn’t explain the retrograde motion of planets that it was formulated to do; it was still widely accepted

Motion and Change Motion and Change two physical displacement features that in turn make up all the physical reality. The rotational motion of electrons and nucleus generate the electrical fields that create all the elements known to man. The amount of neutrons and electrons depends on the elements structure‚ for example water is H2O. Water requires one hydrogen atom and two oxygen atoms this mixture combine creates water. Pre-Socratic philosophers attempted to explain the issues regarding issues

projectile motion. A projectile is an object flying through the air that is only under the force of gravity (neglecting air resistance). A projectile moves both horizontally and vertically‚ which creates a parabolic flight path. In vertical projectile motion there is a constant velocity since there are no forces in the horizontal direction (neglecting drag due to air resistance). Consequently‚ there is no acceleration in horizontal projectile motion. In vertical projectile motion gravity is

historical development of the models of the universe from the time of Aristotle to the time of Newton. Aristotle: Geocentric model of the universe involved a series of 56 concentric spheres to which celestial objects were attached. The Earth was not in motion as the stars showed no measureable parallax. Each planet‚ the Sun‚ and the Moon were in their own sphere and the stars were positioned on a larger sphere surrounding all the others. Ptolemy: Geocentric model of the universe placed the Earth at
