acceleration‚ and deceleration. Let’s start with an example‚ namely the motion of a ball thrown upward and then acted upon by gravity. A major source of confusion in problems of this sort has to do with blurring the distinction between speed and velocity. The speed s is‚ by definition‚ the magnitude of the velocity vector: s := |v|. Note the contrast: – velocity – | | – speed – | The change in velocity is uniformly downward. | | The speed is decreasing during the upward trajectory‚ and

Einstein’s comprehensive 1907 essay on relativity‚ part III H. M. Schwartz University of Arkansas Fayefteville‚ Arkunsas 72701 (Received 30 November 1976; accepted 4 April 1977) This is the concluding part of the English rendition of Einstein’s 1907 essay on relativity‚ of which part I appeared in the June 1977 issue of this Journal and part I1 in the September 1977 issue. It consists of a direct translation of the last part of the essay‚ part V‚ entitled "Principle of Relativity and Gravitation

Both magnitude and d_________________ are important. Example 1 A car travels 5 km due east and makes a U-turn back to travel a further distance of 3 km. Find (a) the distance covered‚ (b)

law of motion. I suggest how Buridan may have come to develop his particular hypothesis. I defend the traditional view that Buridan’s impetus is permanent‚ and in this respect a forerunner of Newtonian inertia‚ against the suggestion of Stillman Drake that Buridan’s impetus is self-expending. In the last section I discuss whether Buridan anticipated Galileo’s law of acceleration.

motivated other great intellectuals to explore and enhance our understanding of science. In 1583‚ Galileo made his first important discovery when he witnessed a chandelier swinging and by further experimentation he described the rules that govern the motion of pendulums. This discovery aided medical professionals in measuring heartbeats‚ and his discovery also helped in the creation of the first timepiece. The discovery
