Science in everyday life

  Science is a big blessing to humanity. Furthermore, science, in spite of some of its negativities, makes lives better for people by removing ignorance, suffering and hardship. Let us take a look at the impact of science in our lives with this essay on science in everyday life. Benefits of Science Science very efficiently plays the role of being a faithful servant of man. In every walk of life, science is there to serve us. We require the benefits of science whether in our home, in office, in a factory, or outside. Gone are the days when only wealthy people could afford luxuries. Science has made many luxurious items of the past cheaper in price and has brought them within the reach of everybody. Computer  technology  is one huge benefit of science. Nowadays, it would be unimaginable to consider living without computing technology. A huge number of professions now rely totally on the computer and the internet. Besides, the computer and the  internet  have become our biggest source of

The universe

  Introduction   What is in the universe?   Galaxies, planets, stars, comets, asteroids, and much other chemical composition ‘stuff’ are part of the universe. We are not able to see the entire universe but just the observable part of it. The observable universe is a term referring to the volume of space that we are physically able to detect, it can be defined as what we are potentially able to see, is there more? That is unknown to our eyes. The universe is 13.8 billion years old to us this is until what our eyes can see. The age of the universe was known because of these main reasons, one, by studying the oldest objects within the universe and second, by measuring how fast the universe is expanding, but the one and most important is knowing how light and light speed works and travels in space.   Main body   Studying the oldest objects within the universe   Many countless objects are part of the universe having each a different birthday, one year, ten years and up to a billion years of

Force and motion

Force We can say that force is a push or pull acting on an object or energy as an attribute of physical action or movement. This occurs when two entities are in contact. According to the  universal law of gravitation , every object in this universe exerts a force on others. The force acting on an object is given by the following parameter: SI unit of Force:  newton(N)  or  kg.m/s 2 Symbol of Force:  F Type of quantity:  Vector quantity Dimensional Formula:  M 1 L 1 T -2 Other units:  dyne, pound-force, kilopond, poundal, kip For example, if there are two bodies of mass M and m, and they are kept in such a way that the body with mass m is resting over the body with mass M. In physics we say that these two bodies will exert forces on each other. So we can say that whenever there is an interaction of two or more bodies, force is a part of the interaction. Motion In simple words, whenever a body is moving, we say it is in motion. For instance, if a boy is walking down the street from his s
