Sir Isaac Newton explained the workings of the universe through his laws of motion and gravitation. He used three laws to explain the way objects move when an unbalanced force acts on them. These are called Newton’s law. The first law which is known as Inertia‚ states that an object in rest will remain still and an object in motion stays at a steady pace unless acted upon by a force. The second law stated the relationship between acceleration and applied force which is expressed in the form F=ma

Topic: Millikan Oil-Drop Experiment The Millikan Oil-Drop experiment was the first experiment to determine the charge of an electron. In 1909‚ Robert Millikan ultimately came up with a way to determine this charge through finding the minute electric charge on a droplet from an oil mist. Basically‚ Millikan started with an enclosed chamber that had two flat plates inside‚ one with a positive charge and one with a negative charge. The portion is split up by the positively charged plate so at the beginning

This makes the Pantheon really extraordinary since it was built around 125 AD under the aegis of the emperor Hadrian. Superior engineering The plan is simple enough: a circular enclosure aside a rectangular
