Isaac Newton did not invent anything in particular; he is known for his significant contributions to the fields of physics and mathematics. His most famous work includes his laws of motion and the law of universal gravitation, which revolutionized our understanding of the physical world.
Isaac Newton died long before IQ tests were invented.
When you look at the huge advances he made in both Physics and mathematics and the typically high IQs of modern theoretical physicists and mathematicians it seems fair to assume it would be pretty high but there is no way to put an actual number on it.
Archimedes' principle says that an object is buoyed up by a force that is equal to the .?
It's equals to weight of fluid it displaces
Does Archimedes principle can also be applied to gases?
Yes, Archimedes' principle can be applied to gases. It states that an object immersed in a fluid will experience an upward buoyant force equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. This principle applies to all fluids, including gases, where the buoyant force depends on the volume of the gas displaced.
What was Isaac Newton's occupation?
He was actually a male prostitute in his early 20's. He did this to be able to afford college at Trinity, Cambridge.
Why did Isaac Newton move with the Clark's?
Isaac Newton moved in with the Clark family to work as a farm laborer and complete his education in Grantham. He was taken in by Hannah Ayscough Clark, the widow of the local preacher, and her three younger children. This move enabled Newton to continue his studies in a more stable and supportive environment.
What year was Claudius Ptolemy born?
Claudius Ptolemy lived in the second century, A.D., at which time Rome was arguably the strongest empire in the world. In South Asia, many Hindu and Buddhist texts were committed to writing in the second century A.D.
If the volume of the sphere is less than 1 cm3, then the sphere will sink in the liquid as its density is greater than that of the liquid.
Isaac Newton collaborated with many notable scientists and mathematicians during his lifetime, including Edmond Halley, Robert Hooke, and Gottfried Leibniz. Halley played a significant role in the publication of Newton's groundbreaking work on gravitation, Principia Mathematica. Hooke and Leibniz were involved in disputes with Newton over priority of ideas and developments in calculus.
One liter equals how many kiloliters?
one mililitre = 1/1000 litre
one centilitre = 1/100 litre
one decilitre = 1/10 litre
litre
one decalitre = 10 litres
one centalitre = 100 litres
one kilolitre = 1000 litres
one megalitre = 1000000 litres
terms for quantities above litre are rarely used
one killi litre can be used instead of millilitre but has never been adopted
What is the aristotle theory of motion?
Aristotle's theory of motion is based on the idea that objects naturally move towards their "natural place" in the universe. He believed that everything in the cosmos is composed of a combination of the four elements (earth, water, air, fire), each of which has its own natural place. Objects move as a result of their tendency to reach their natural place.
Hipparchus is known for his work in astronomy, where he developed the first comprehensive star catalog and made important contributions to understanding the motion of celestial bodies. He also introduced the concept of epicycles to explain the complex movement of planets in the sky.
Advantages of laplace transformation?
Laplace Transformation is modern technique to solve higher order differential equations.
It has several great advantages over old classical method, such as: # In this method we don't have to put the values of constants by our self. # We can solve higher order differential equations also of more than second degree equations because using classical mothed we can only solve first or second degree differential equations.
Significance of Aristotle's contrubution to physics?
Roughly speaking, negative 2000 years of scientific progress.
Aristotle wasn't wrong about everything, but he was wrong about enough and was regarded as such an authority that it took about 2000 years for scientists to work up the courage to say "You know, Aristotle didn't know beans, you'd get more accurate answers by flipping a coin."
Isaac Newtons favourite shape?
Isaac Newton's favorite shape is believed to be a circle because of its symmetry and mathematical properties. As a mathematician and physicist, he made significant contributions to the understanding of circles and their properties in his work on calculus and optics.
Extending from 1473 to 1543, the life-span of Nicolas Copernicus witnessed numerous important events in Europe and beyond. The major accomplishments of Copernicus, himself, stand as events of significance, but very few historical events of any age are more important than the 1517 protests of the German monk, Martin Luther, against Church abuses that led to the Protestant Reformation -- and the dawning of a new era in the world.

What are the characteristics of Isaac Newton?
physicists try to look and identify the basic principle in complicated natural phenomenas . physicists have a bad had writing. they do not care much about their clothes . physicists are different in all the ways from the common people ,not by birth but due to their choices and decisions in life.
What is the contribution of nicolaus Copernicus?
Nicolas Copernicus was an astronomer who first gave the theory (which is now proven) that all planets revolve around the sun, which is called the heliocentric model of the solar system. The belief at the time was that the Earth was the center of the solar system/universe. We now know that Copernicus was right, but everybody in his time said he was a nutcase, and his heliocentric model didn't become popular until after Galileo and Kepler.
Country of origin of nicolaus Copernicus?
Nicolaus Copernicus was born in Toruń, a city in the Kingdom of Poland, which is present-day Poland.
State Archimedes' principle and give an example of how you could determine a buoyant force?
Archimedes stated that any object set in water will experience a force of buoyancy equal to the weight of the water displaced.
To determine the buoyancy force of an object, follow the procedure below. You will need:
- Two containers
- An accurate scale
1. Find a container as least as wide and as deep as the object in question, and then find a second container that is wide and deep enough to catch spilled water from the first container. For example, use a measuring cup as the small container, and a cake pan for the larger container.
2. Weigh the larger container. Write down this measurement - you will need it in step 8.
3. Rest the smaller container in the middle of the larger container.
4. Fill the smaller container completely and exactly full with water, such that the smaller container cannot hold any more water without spilling over. Be certain not to spill any water into the larger container during this step.
5. Gently place the object in question in the smaller container - do not drop it into the water. Allow it to immerse into the water gently so that it does not splash. As you place the object in the smaller container, water will spill over the top of the container, and will be captured by the larger container.
6. After the object in question comes to rest in or on top of the water, remove the object, again being careful not to spill or splash any water over the edge of the smaller container while removing the object.
7. Remove the smaller container from the larger container.
8. Now weigh the larger container with the water in it, and subtract the weight you measured in step 2 from this weight. The difference in weight is the weight of the water alone.
.
The buoyancy force is the weight of the water you calculated in step 8.
Who was the spouse of Isaac Newton?
No-one was Isaac Newton's wife. He remained unmarried all his life.
Between 1290 and 1657 Jews were completely banned from England. Newton was born, the son of a prosperous farmer in Lincolnshire in 1642. The idea of a secret Jew in a rural area of England in Newton's time just doesn't make sense at all.Until recently it was believed that there were no Jews in England between 1290 and 1656 but as revealed by the distinguished historian, Cecil Roth, in the History of the Jews in England, Portuguese secret Jews masquerading sometimes as Catholics, other times as Protestants (Marranos) settled in England during the reigns of King Henry VIII and Elizabeth I.
Pappus, in a composite flower, is the element of the individual disk and ray flowers that surrounds the flower structure, in the same manner at the base as calyx does in a non-compound flower. Pappuses may be like bristles, teeth or scales and are usually too diminutive to discern without some type of magnification device. The etymology of this name is that it derives from the Ancient Greek word pappos, Latin pappus, meaning old man, but also used for a plant - assumed to be an Erigeron species - having bristles, and also for the woolly, hairy seed of certain plants.
Did Archimedes discover density?
Well, yes and no. More no than yes. See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy#Archimedes.27_principle
