In Physics
-
Major contribution to science was that he was the first person to proposes that the earth revolves around the sun, or heliocentric, rather than the sun revolving around the earth.
-
He created the tremoscope, which is a device that could show changes in temperature.
-
Known for his laws of planetory motion, which states the orbit of a planet is an ellispe with sun at one of the two foci points,
-
His major contribution to physics was snells law, whichis a formula that show the relationship between the angle of incidence and the angle of refration when passing through things like glass or water.
-
HE discovered the law of elasticy, or Hooke's Law, which states the force neeed to extend or compress a spring by some distance is directly propotionls to that distance.
-
Major Contribution was Newtons law of motion, which states, an object remains at rest unless acted upon by an outside source,sum of forces equals mass, when one force is exerted on another obeject the forces exerted will be equal.
-
Major Contribution to science was what he learned from conducting experiments with lighting rods to learn more about electricy, he mostly learned that certain types of metals help conduct electic.
-
Credited as the inventor of the modern steam engine.
-
Major Contribution to science was the molecular theory with Avogadro's Law (which states "equal volumes of gases, at the same temperature and pressure, have the same number of molecules") and also Avogadro's constant (6.02e23)
-
determind the correct value of absolute zeros, which approximitly 273.15 telsius.
-
Came up with Ohm's law which say that current running though two points is directly propotional to the differnce between two points.
-
He stated that the amount of heat produced in a wire by an electrical current is proportional to product resistance of a wire and a current.
-
Major contribution was the doppler effect or a change in frequency/wavelength is caused by the thing that is creating the wave and the thing which is observing the wave,
-
Know as one of the main founders of "classical Electrmagnetism", the SI measurement of electric current is named after him.
-
Proved the existence of electromagnetic waves theoried by John Maxwell's electomagnetic theory of light.
-
Developed the alternating-current electrical system, which is widely used today, along with inventing and patoning many other things.
-
Einstein's theory of relativity, which stated that moving bodies appear to slow down and contract when "measured in the frame of the observer", along with this theory he stated E=mc^2 (or energy=mass times the speed of light squared)
