measurements of the position of planets. Johannes Kepler‚ after a detailed analysis of the measurements announced three laws in 1619. 1. The orbit of each planet is an ellipse which has the Sun at one of its foci. 2. Each planet moves in such a way that the (imaginary) line joining it to the Sun sweeps out equal areas in equal times. 3. The squares of the periods of revolution of the planets about the Sun are proportional to the cubes of their mean distances from it. Newton’s law of universal

UNIT 1 Modern Physics 1.1 CLASSICAL PHYSICS Newtons laws of motion are the basis of the most elementary principles of classical physics. Equations based on these laws are the simplest and they are suitable for solution of simple dynamical problems‚ such as the motion of macroscopic bodies‚ Lagranges equations‚ Hamiltons equations and Hamiltons principle are also fundamental principles of classical mechanics‚ because they are consistent with each other and with Newtons laws of

Birth of Modern Physics ( late 19th cent. ) most of classical physics was complete‚ Wilhelm Roentgen (1895) the discoveries of X rays radioactivity by A. H. Becquerel (1896)‚ the electron by J. J.

2.4 Galileo Galilei: Sixteenth-Century “New Scientist” 1. In your own words explain why Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the “father of modern science” Albert Einstein considered Galileo to be the father of modern science because of how many of Galileo’s discoveries have become the basis of today’s science. 2. Why did Galileo choose to use a ramp to perform his acceleration experiment? Technology during Galileo’s time was still quite primitive. His experiment which required him to drop

extensions including atomic and nuclear physics‚ cryogenics‚ solid-state physics‚ particle physics‚ and plasma physics. Physics (from Ancient Greek: φύσις physis "nature") is a natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time‚ along with related concepts such as energy and force. More broadly‚ it is the general analysis of nature‚ conducted in order to understand how the universe behaves. Scalars and Vectors Physics is a mathematical science. The underlying

The Physics of Rainbows As we are coming down to the final weeks of winter‚ the days are getting longer‚ and it is slowing starting to warm up. We are all looking forward to springtime‚ with its promises of flowers and rain. Along with this rain brings reminders of rainbows. As Donald Ahrens says in the Meteorology Today magazine‚ “rainbows are one of the most spectacular light shows observed on earth (About).” In fact‚ one of the best ways to view a rainbow at it’s utmost
