Robert Hooke Georgia Priest 23 September 2011 1st period Biology Honors On July 18‚ 1635‚ Robert Hooke was born in the small community of Freshwater on the Isle of Wright. His father John Hooke was a clergyman‚ as a child Hooke had ingenuity for mechanics. When Hooke was thirteen his father committed suicide by hanging himself. Hooke was left one hundred pounds in inheritance from his father. Robert went to London after the death of his father as an apprentice to the painter Sir Peter

Robert Hooke Physics is the center of anything and everything in this universe. It is why we always come down after jumping up. It is why our Earth circles the Sun and the Moon circles our Earth. Behind all of these answers through equations stand many men and women who have been patient and determined enough to figure it all out. One of these fine beings would be a man by the name of Robert Hooke. Robert Hooke was born in July of 1635. He was the son of John Hooke‚ a churchman‚ who

V. Analysis and Conclusion In this experiment we studied the elastic properties of the spring‚ the Hooke’s Law and the total work done on the spring when it is being stretch. Also‚ this experiment tackles the elasticity and deformation of a material that obeys the Hooke’s Law which states that “Within the elastic limit of a body‚ the deforming force is directly proportional to the elongation of the body.” Our experiment is to determine the force constant of the spring. The calculations used throughout

of force referred to as a restoring force. This name comes from the fact that the spring force tries to restore the spring to its original un-stretched position where it is “comfortable” (the spring doesn’t like to be stretched nor compressed). Robert Hooke was the first to investigate the relationship between the applied force and the extension of the spring and deduced the law for elastic springs called Hooke’s Law in his honor. His law expresses a direct relationship between the applied force and

Born in Cork‚ Ireland‚ in the year 1627‚ Robert Boyle was born into a very rich family. His father‚ Richard Boyle‚ was the Earl of Cork. Part of Boyle’s success was because he lived with one of the richest men of Ireland. Richard Boyle‚ however‚ gained his money through stealing. His mother died before he was 12. Though he did well at his school initially‚ when a new headmaster arrived‚ Boyle did poorly. His father removed him from his school‚ and hired a tutor to teach him

Robert Hooke’s adult life comprised 3 distinct periods. As a scientific inquirer lacking money‚ achieving great wealth and standing through his reputation for hard work and scrupulous honesty following the great fire of 1666‚ but eventually becoming ill and party to jealous intellectual disputes. These issues may have contributed to his relative historical obscurity. Robert Hooke was at one time simultaneously the curator of experiments of the Royal Society and a member

his microscope‚ as well as his observations‚ with the scientific community. 1655 Robert Hooke Around 1655 the English scientist Robert Hooke used van Leeuwenhoeks ideas and made the first compound microscope‚ which used more than one lens to magnify an object. He examined thin slices of cork‚ a dead plant material. Using the microscope he was able to see that the cork was made up of thousands of empty chambers. Hooke called these chambers cells after the rows of small rooms in a monastery.We still

2.1 Outline the Historical development of the cell theory‚ in particular‚ the contributions of Robert Hooke and Robert Brown. • 1665 English scientist Robert Hooke used microscope to examine thin slices of cork and saw small box-like compartments he called cells. He was first to realise plant material had organised structure at microscopic level.

the first compound light microscope. The compound light microscope was made up of 2 lenses inside a tube which enlarged objects 9X. As the microscope model was advanced by Robert Hooke he later discovered cells. Over time the compound light microscope had a magnification of 270X. These advancements made it possible for Robert Brown to discover the nucleus cell making the magnification 1500X more. In 1933 the magnification reached 1millionX their size and resolution as observations of cell structure
