Introduction to force01:25

Introduction to force

1.3K
Consider water flowing from a nozzle to a turbine vane. As the water hits the turbine vane, it exerts a force that causes it to move along the flow of direction. Force is an impact that changes an object's motion, shape, or orientation. Forces can be caused by physical contact, such as a push or pull, or through non-contact interactions, such as magnetic or gravitational forces. Force is a vector quantity with both magnitude and direction, and is measured in newtons (N) in the SI unit...

Newton's First Law: Introduction

Motion draws our attention. Motion itself can be beautiful, causing us to marvel at the forces needed to create spectacular sights, such as that of a dolphin jumping out of the water, the flight of a bird, or the orbit of a satellite. The study of motion is kinematics, but kinematics only describes the way objects move—their velocity and acceleration. Dynamics considers the forces that affect the motion of moving objects and systems. Newton's laws of motion are the foundation of...

An Introduction to Mechanics

8.0K
Humans have been making ships, shelters, pyramids, weapons, agricultural equipment, and many more items without recording the process or theory behind them for centuries. It would be challenging to document the evolution of mechanics from its origin to the present.
According to records, the history of mechanics starts with Aristotle (384–322 BC). He related mechanics to physical theory, aiming for a universal synthesis.
Newton defined mechanics as the branch of physical science that...

Introduction to Statistics

66.7K
The science of statistics involves collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting data. The method of collecting, organizing, and summarizing data is called descriptive statistics. The systematic method of drawing inferences from the sample data and predicting unknown characteristics of a population is called inferential statistics.
In statistics, the collection of individuals or objects under study is called population. The idea of sampling is to select a portion of the larger population...

Introduction to Actin01:26

Introduction to Actin

6.8K
Actin is a highly conserved cytoskeletal protein found abundantly in eukaryotic cells. It constitutes 10% weight of the total cellular protein in muscle cells, while in non-muscle cells, it is lower and makes up around 1–5 percent of the total cell protein. Actin found in the unicellular amoebae and complex multicellular animals is around 80% similar, demonstrating their conservation over a billion years of evolution.  Actin coding genes are conserved within species and across...

Introduction to the Cytoskeleton

37.6K
Overview of the Cytoskeleton
The cytoskeleton is a network of protein filaments present within the cell, having three distinct filaments ̶   microfilaments, microtubules, and intermediate filaments. Each has characteristic features that distinguish them, including the dynamics of their assembly and disassembly, mechanical properties, polarity, and the type of molecular motors associated with them. Earlier, they were thought to be present only in eukaryotic cells; however, their...

    Summary

    This study explores how paper technologies shaped capitalism from the 17th to 19th centuries in England and the US. It examines business ephemera and computational tools to understand economic history through material artifacts.

    Area of Science:

    • History of Technology
    • Economic History
    • Business History

    Background:

    • The study bridges the history of technology and capitalism.
    • It examines "paper technologies of capitalism" from the 17th-19th centuries in England and the United States.
    • It connects scholarly efforts to historicize the economic past with material artifacts and social knowledge production.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore the intersection of technological advancements and capitalist development.
    • To analyze the role of "paper technologies" in shaping economic practices.
    • To understand how material artifacts contribute to the production of social and economic knowledge.

    Main Methods:

    • Overview of scholarly efforts to historicize the economic past.

  • Analysis of "computational technologies" for calculating future values.
  • Examination of everyday transactions and the materiality of paper in capitalist culture.

    • Main Results:

    • "Paper technologies" were integral to capitalist development across centuries.
    • Specific tools like the "rule of three" facilitated everyday economic transactions.
    • The materiality of paper was intertwined with emerging capitalist narratives like "rags to riches".

    Conclusions:

    • The history of technology and capitalism are deeply intertwined.
    • Material artifacts and everyday business ephemera offer crucial insights into economic history.
    • Understanding past economic practices requires examining the technologies and materials used.
