    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

    Emmie Thompson Mr. Lindley AP European 11 January 2013 Galileo‚ Descartes‚ and Newton The scientific revolution gave way to a radical change in the ideology of mankind. Prior to the scientific revolution‚ ideas were dominated by the church. Religion dominated science and was a superior source of knowledge. When science contradicted the church‚ it was wrong. This clash was seen with the claim of the earth not being the center of the universe‚ but the sun. The church declared this as heresy

    Slavery is the ownership of human beings as property used for the purpose of unpaid labor; a slave can be bought and/or sold by his/her master for a price by his or her owner. Slaves were often exploited and treated very poorly and this was the case in British society as the slave trade was prominent and grew to dominate the Atlantic slave trade. The Atlantic slave was established during the mid-17th century. Ships would sail from Europe with a cargo of manufactured goods to the west coast of Africa

    Galileo‚ Descartes‚ and Newton were only some of the enlightened thinkers responsible for the shift in scientific understanding. Previously‚ science in Europe did little without relying on the church‚ but these scientific thinkers set the stage for a modern scientific model that separated the spiritual from the physical and strived to learn the natural laws that governed the physical world. Each one of these men‚ through their different researches‚ helped Europe see a world that was not necessarily

    Science Timeline In the early 1860’s the French beverage industry was thriving. Pasteur was called upon to tackle some of the problems that were plaguing the industry. The special concern was the spoiling of wine and beer‚ which caused great economic loss and tarnished France’s reputation for fine vintage wines. He noticed that when aged properly‚ the liquid contained little yeast cells. But when the wine turned sour‚ he was a proliferation of bacterial cells which were producing lactic acid

    released from rest and allowed to accelerate over a distance. Using a stopwatch‚ we determine how long it takes‚ for the cart to move through the distance. The results that our group gathered seem not accurate because of human error. Introduction: Newtons second law of motion pertains to the behavior of objects for which all existing forces are not balanced. The second law states that the acceleration of an object is dependent upon two variables - the net force acting upon the object and the mass

    the relationship between force and motion. Force? What is it? Put in simple terms‚ a force is a push or a pull. It pertains to any influence that causes a change in an object’s state of motion. • Contact Force A contact force is produced when there is direct contact between two interacting bodies. • Long-Range Force A long-range force is produced when one body influences the state of motion of another body even if these two bodies are separated by empty space. • Concurrent Forces Concurrent forces

    between the hammer and nail A hammer exerts a force on the nail and drives it into a board . But this is not the only force present for there must also be a force exerted on the hammer to stop it in the process. What exerts this force? The nail does. Newton reasoned that while the hammer exerts a force on the nail ‚ the nail exerts a force on the hammer. So‚ the interaction between the nail and the hammer‚ there is a pair of forces ‚ one acting on the nail and the other acting on the hammer. Between
