1. Sir Isaac Newton 1642-1727 1665 – discovered Law of Universal Gravitation F gravity = Gm 1 m 2 /r 2 –r = distance between two mass centers –G = constant –F gravity = gravitational force Technology necessary to place satellites in space and land on the moon. Also credited with inventing calculus

2. Weight and Mass Mass is proportional to quantity of matter only. Weight is proportional to quantity of matter and gravity. –You may be weightless in outer space but never massless!

3. Daniel Bernoulli 1700-1782 1725 -First blood pressure measurements –170 years latter modern methods were developed. However, still used for air speed

4. Bernoulli ’ s Fluid Dynamics (  v 2 /2 )+ P = constant (Density x velocity 2 /2 )+pressure = const. As velocity of fluid increases its pressure must decrease An exchange of kinetic energy for pressure Latter his principle was used to design the first air plane.

6. Rudolph Clausius 1822-1888 Discovered the second law of thermodynamics Entropy of universe tends to a maximum In 1852 informed us “the universe is dying.” His principal improved effectiveness of steam engine and refrigeration. –“Heat can never pass from a colder to a warmer body without some other change, connected therewith, occurring at the same time” Latter Maxwell, another scientist defined entropy = disorder (randomness) or chaos ∆S for the universe > 0

7. 2 nd Law Work in = Work out + heat Work out < Work in Heat flows spontaneously from hot to cold. Like your refrigerator. Work or energy is required to flow heat from cold to hot. Heat is proportional to particle velocity and randomness or chaos which is Entropy.

9. Michael Faraday 1791-1867 1831-Discovered electromagnetic induction –His discovery lead to electric motor and generator and a whole new concept of energy.electric motor –Change in magnetic field per time is proportional to electric power generated.

10. Electromagnetic Induction

11. James Clerk Maxwell In 1862 used Faraday’s cell model to derive his famous Maxwell equations. Calculated electro-magnetic waves must travel at light speed. Proving Faraday correct. “The Special Theory of Relativity owes its origins to Maxwell’s equations of the electromagnetic field.” Albert Einstein

12. 1879-1955 1905 - Told us the law of the photoelectric effect. Basically the law is: E electron = E light - E threshold Proved light is quantized –He won a noble prize for this discovery in 1922 E electron = energy of emitted electrons E light = energy of light striking a metal E threshold = minimum energy necessary to remove an electron from the metal.

13. E = mc 2 In 1905 Einstein also told us E=mc 2 –Energy = mass x light speed squared –Light speed in vacuum is 3 x 10 8 m/s !! –Simple elegant equation relating matter and energy which led to the atomic bomb.Simple elegant equation relating matter and energy which led to the atomic bomb. Einstein’s letters to President F.D.R. in 1939 began the nuclear arms race between US & Germany during WWII. 2 gram matter is equivalent in energy to 42.92 ktons of TNT or 3 Hiroshima A-bombs. –Antimatter converts matter into energy on contact.

14. Albert Einstein in 1912

16. Luddites Today people threatened by technology are called Luddites. 1800 – Jacquard’s loom & Ind. Revolution 1812 – England at war with U.S. –U.S. trade embargo forced England to supply all its own textiles. –Increased need for expensive automated weavers replaced craftsmen by factories. –Luddites by Richard Conniff, Smithsonian Magazine, March 2011Luddites by Richard Conniff

17. “ General Ned Ludd ” Ned Ludd –Broke some stocking frames which was seen as heroic by his peers. –Henceforth, he was blamed for all such mishaps. A guerrilla army formed under the name of General Ned Ludd to oppress factories –A secret army which controlled the night –Demanded restoration of compensation & working conditions

18. George Washington Carver Circa 1860-1943 – born of slave parents Improved crop rotation with new legume crops –Farmers began planting peanuts, or sweet potato, or soy beans one year and cotton the next, etc. –Developed technology to utilize legume crops such as peanut oil, printing inks, synthetic rubber and highway pavements. Communicated his scientific findings to poor farmers –37 agricultural bulletins written over 45 years –Clear cogent writing style easily understood by uneducated farmer.

19. G. W. Carver adhesives, axle grease, bleach,butter milk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper,plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and woodstain.

20. Global Warming We are in a warming phase since the end of the mini ice age (glaciation), 300 years ago. There has been 51 glaciations in the last 2.58 MM years. The mean global temperature has increased 1 o C over last hundred years and 0.5 o C since 1980. Species adaptation through migration and genetic mutation. Deforestation and fossil fuel combustion increasing atmospheric CO 2

21. Causes of Global Warming There are natural causes –Planet positioning such as: Axis tilt, eccentricity of Earth’s orbit and precession of vernal equinox –Solar and planetary changes such as: Volcanic activity and sun spots Man’s effect on global warming is believed to be from CO 2 emissions. –There is no irrefutable data to directly link humans to earth’s warming. Nevertheless, 1 o C/100years is alarming.

22. Allotropes Carbon and other elements can exist in various forms. These forms are called allotropes. Allotropes of carbon are graphite, amorphous, and diamond, and nanotubes. These are macromolecular. A molecular allotrope is Buckminsterfulleranes.
