accelerator. This chapter Dr. Lederman gives a brief background story of what led him to particle physics. Chapter 2: In a fictional dream‚ Dr. Lederman meets Democritus‚ an ancient Greek philosopher who lived during the Classical Greek Civilization and has a conversation with him. The conversation is actually in the form of a Socratic dialogue. The two have an informative dialogue about physics.

interested me; it was the desire to understand how and why.I am currently studying A-Levels at The Manchester College‚ in Maths‚ Chemistry‚ Physics and AS-Level in Further Maths and my ability to cope with this busy schedule shows I am able to cope well under pressure. In my January exam modules last year‚ I achieved three A grades in Maths‚ Chemistry and Physics. I am enjoying the breadth and depth of my A-Level studies and relish the freedom to work more independently. I have found that sixth-form

Velocity The word‚ velocity‚ originates from the Latin word‚ vēlōcitās‚ meaning swiftness or speed. Velocity is one of the basic words used in mathematics and physics and forms the basis for the more important formulae used in high level study of these subjects. According to the dictionary‚ the definition of velocity is the rate of change of position of an object. In simple words‚ velocity means the distance travelled by an object over some time divided by the time taken by the object to travel

teens‚ and eventually even gained some fame in the astronomy community by giving lectures on the subject as early as the age of fifteen. As he got older‚ he chose to attend Harvard University where he majored in physics and lived in the Currier House. Tyson earned a Bachelor of Arts in physics from Harvard in 1980 and began his graduate work at the University of Texas‚ from which he received a Master’s in astronomy in 1983. Tyson’s research has focused on studying in cosmology‚ stellar evolution‚ galatic

science fiction in the sixties and seventies is now the technology of yesteryear. Physics has changed along with technology. Scientists can now predict events millions‚ even billions of years in the future. We’ve developed safer nuclear technology‚ and are striving toward energy through fusion in the coming years. We have developed all of these because of the theories of Albert Einstein. He ushered in modern physics‚ a model of observing our universe that left many scientists dumbfounded with how

Galileo was contributed a lot to us today because he had major discoveries in math‚ astronomy‚ physics and engineering. Even though he had an unideal childhood‚ Galileo went to college at the University of Pisa. He also began teaching at the age of 17. In 1568 he invented the hydrostatic balance. this is used to measure the “specific gravity” of a gemstone. This is something that people use today in gemology. He also gave private math lessons to children in florence and his college. In 1593‚ Galileo

LAB WRITE-UP NAME: Gabriel-Ohanu Emmanuel PARTNER: Baptiste Gilman TITLE: Graph Matching PURPOSE: The purpose of the experiment was to analyze the motion of a student walking along a straight line in front of the motion detector moving back and forward with different speed trying to match the graph provided. To also understand and interpret graphs of distance vs time and velocity vs time. To also know what the slopes of the each graph represent which tells how far the student travelled

Newton was a great physicist and mathematician‚ and was credited as one of the greatest minds of the 17th century and Scientific Revolution. With Isaac Newton’s discoveries in optics‚ motion and mathematics‚ he developed the principles of modern physics. At age 12‚ Isaac Newton had attended The King’s School‚ Grantham. Where he was taught the basics and classics‚ but he wasn’t taught any sciences or mathematics. When he turned 17‚ his mother stopped him from going to school so that he could be home

mathematical reasoning. He sites examples in life that support his hypothesis. His argument is of a scientific nature because he is making a hypothesis on a distinctive type of concept. The conclusions that Galileo made relate directly to the work in physics for which he is so well known. His conclusions put emphasis on shapes‚ numbers‚ and motion which are all properties that lend themselves to support through "reasoning back and forth between theory and experiment." I feel that Galileo’s argument
