circle) were used to describe anomalies such as the retrograde motion of planets. 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

Perpetual Motion I will be researching perpetual motion and why it is said to be impossible. The reason I chose this topic is because I remember learning the laws of thermodynamics in my eighth grade science class. After explaining these laws‚ the teacher added‚ “…and that is why perpetual motion machines are impossible.” Since we have been studying related topics such as motion‚ gravity‚ and friction‚ I figure it would be a great time to learn specifically why it is considered impossible

Motion NCERT Chapter Questions and Answers and other Q & A Q1: An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero displacement? If yes‚ support your answer with an example. Answer: Yes an object can have zero displacement even though it has moved through a distance. It happens when the object moves back to its original position i.e. final position coincides with the starting position. Example: Suppose an object travels from O to C and then comes back to original position O. Total

Much like Gilgamesh’s quest for fame‚ of wanting his “name stamped on bricks” (70)‚ Odysseus also demonstrates a lust for power and fame. Odysseus relates to Gilgamesh in the sense they are both self-centered‚ proclaimed heroes. Gilgamesh seeks Humbaba to slay him simply for the fame of it while Odysseus reveals his identity to Polyshemus simply to boast of his accomplishment. This completely backfires on him when the Cyclops throws a slab of mountain at their boat‚ resulting in the near death of

Translational motion Translational motion is the aspect in which a body moves from a specific point to the next. This can be in terms of objects‚ molecules or atoms. This kind of motion normally takes place in a straight line for instance bullet which is fired by a gun. The object in motion does not change by turning on its axis for it travels in a straight line. Any slight change or rotation can cause the object to change direction in general making it not move toward the specified direction.

certain object affects the velocity of the object when it hits the ground. Hypothesis: If the Buick is projected in the air at the same angle as the other objects‚ then it will have a higher velocity compared to a tank shell‚ a golf ball‚ a baseball‚ a bowling ball‚ a football‚ a pumpkin‚ an adult human‚ and a piano. Introduction: In physics‚ velocity is often defined as the speed. Gravity is the amount of force that acts upon an object. In this experiment‚ when one projects an object in the air
