His early life Robert Hooke was born on July 18th, 1635 in Freshwater, Isle of Wight, England. His father, John Hooke, was a clergyman. As a child Hooke became ill of smallpox, of which he survived from, only to be disfigured and scarred. Throughout his childhood, Robert never really received much of any regular schooling due to his sickness and weakness. On the other hand he had an amazing natural curiosity, which led to the development of his mind through self-learning. When Robert was merely thirteen
the case, and honestly, is usually never the case. There is almost always some sort of dispute among the finders of a new idea or object. One of the most famous instances of conflict is between two men known by the names Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke. Sir Isaac Newton is possibly the most well known physicist across the world for his finding of gravity. He didn’t invent gravity obviously, but he is the one that was able to explain this phenomenon to the other physicists and to the rest of the
Investigating the Factors Which Will Affect the Stretching of a Helical Spring when Put Under a Load. Aim: To investigate and analyse the factors which will effect the stretching of a Helical Spring when put under a load of weights. ================================================================= Theory: Things, which might affect this, are: · Downward force applied to the spring. · Spring material. · Length of spring. · No. of coils in spring. · Diameter of spring material
Spring Constant of Springs in Series and Parallel Planning The aim of this investigation is to examine the effect on the spring constant placing 2 identical springs in parallel and series combination has and how the resultant spring constants of the parallel and series spring sets compare to that of a lone spring with identical spring constant. Hypothesis ---------- Hooke's Law states that "The magnitude of the spring constant (k) is equal to the stretching force applied (F)
indeed, everything is ultimately derived from the cell", Henri stated. Durtrochet also proposed that new cells arrived from old cells, a view that was previously stated by Francois Raspail.

Newton’s Early Life: Sir Isaac Newton was born in the village of Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England. He was an only child, his father was also called Isaac Newton, but he died 3 months later after his child was born, Newton’s father was considered as a wealthy farmer at his times. Newton was a premature baby when he was born he was weak and fragile, many people thought that he wouldn’t survive. When Newton was at the age of 3, his biological mother, Hannah Ayscough Newton, got married again by a
Factors Affecting the Time Period for Oscillations in a Mass-spring System When a mass is attached to the end of a spring the downward force the mass applies on the spring will cause the spring to extend. We know from Hooke's law that the force exerted by the masses attached to the spring will be proportional to the amount the spring extends. F = kx When additional downward force is applied to the spring we can cause additional tension in the spring which, when released, causes the system
Hooke's Law I have designed the experiment to measure spring constants when the springs are in series and in parallel. The theory is based on Hooke's law which is: F = kx where F = Force, k = Constant and x = Extension [Ref. 1]. Unfortunately with the springs I have, I can only measure extension, not compression for which Hooke's is also valid. Prediction Single Spring: Hooke's law, where F = kx. I predict that I if I plot Force on the Y axis and extension, x, on the X axis
The publication of Isaac Newton’s Principia Mathematica is widely considered an extraordinary event in the history of science. In the Principia, Newton introduced a system of mechanical explanation of the world that revolutionized physics. Of particular importance in the Principia was Newton’s mathematical demonstration of the existence of the force of gravity, which he demonstrated to be at work in a wide range of phenomena. But as revolutionary as Newton’s discovery and demonstration was, the
Cells That Read Minds 2 This article is about brain cells reaction that is called mirror neurons. This cell will react to different sounds or movement. The researchers found that on monkeys when they heard or saw a certain kind of movement that would make a sound or gesture. Also, that found reactions happen within Humans, also. Dr. Rizzolattis said it took them several years to believe
Imagine standing in the field with your friend looking at the stars, as the cool breeze blows through the group you see a white bright streak flying by. One of the voices says, “Hey! Its Halley’s Comet!” Now fast forward seventy-five years, as you sit on your porch with your wife you see a familiar looking streak cruising through the vast dark blue sky. You realise that Halley’s Comet has come back to say hello. The comet, previously mentioned, was discovered in 1705 by Edmund Halley (Nov.8,1656-Jan
leaving Isaac under the care of his grandmother. Newton presented his invention on optics at the Royal Academy, which led to him proving his theory of light and color. This was his first major public achievement, but not everyone was impressed. Robert Hooke, who had studied optics before, was one of the people who were not thrilled with Newton's work. Newton worked day and night for almost two years on Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica, which translates to Mathematical Principles of Natural
Isaac Newton was born on January 4, 1643 in Woolsthorpe, England where he grew up. His father, also named Isaac Newton, was a prosperous farmer who died three months before Isaacs’s birth. Isaac was born premature; he was very tiny and weak and wasn’t expected to live (bio). When he was three his mother, Hannah, remarried a priest named Barnabus Smith and moved in with him leaving Isaac to live with his grandparents. He became a very insecure, exhibited boy and displayed irrational behavior (bio)

Margaret was the youngest child of eight children and was loved just as dearly as the rest. She like most her siblings took on education with a governess and learned what they needed to get by in the world. Unlike her other siblings Margaret showed signs of admiration towards reading and writing, but more towards her writings.

Edmond Halley put forth the idea that the earth was hollow. He studies and comets and he even has a comet named after him. Edmond or Edmund Halley put forth the theory that the earth is hollow. In 1680 he traveled the world to observe the comets in different places. In 1684, Halley visited Isaac newton to discuss theories. He has his very own comet named after him. It is called Halley’s Comet. He studied many comets around the world. He worked for royal society in the number of endeavors. He couldn’t
theory of gravity when he saw an apple fall from a tree. During his life; however, Isaac Newton faced many obstacles. When he published some of his ideas in Philosophical Transaction of the Royal Society, some people challenged his ideas such as Robert Hooke and Christiaan Huygens to a point where Newton stopped publishing his work. During his life, he also suffered a nervous breakdown in a period of his life. He was convinced his friends were conspiring against him, and he couldn’t sleep at all for five
“If I have seen further that others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.” -Sir Isaac Newton. Sir Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke were by far the most brilliant scientist of their day. They individually and collectively made huge contributions to the science of their day. Sir Isaac Newton was Without the work of Sir Isaac Newton and Robert Hooke, the world of science would be no where near where it is today. Sir Isaac Newton made an enormous amount of contributions to the world of physics
Hooke's Law Investigation Introduction - Hooke's Law is when forces are applied to a solid object and it can result in extension or compression. Hooke's Law is able to predict how a spring (or other stretchable object) would behave when force is applied to it. I am trying to find out what factors effect the stretching of a spring. The variables are: Ÿ Downward force applied to spring. Ÿ Spring material. Ÿ Length of spring. Ÿ No. of coils in spring. Ÿ Diameter of spring
Average Spring Constant and Uncertainty of the Batch Outline plan ============ I have been given 3 springs to which I will add different weight. Using the value of extension (Δx) I will calculate the spring constant. Hooke's Law says that the stretch of a spring from its rest position is linearly proportional to the applied force (stress is proportional to strain). Symbolically, F = kΔx Where F stands for the applied force, x is the amount of stretch (found by new length minus
