Scientific History

Charles Augustin de Coulomb
(1736-1806)

Charles Augustin de Coulomb was a French physicist that was born on June 14th, 1736 in Angouleme, French. Coulomb was a pioneer in electricity theory. Coulomb worked as a military technician for France in West Indies. When the French revolution happened, he retired from his job and lived in Blois, France. There he continued his research in the field of magnetism, friction, and electricity. 

In 1777 he found a torsion balance to measure magnetic force and electric force.With his discovery, Coulomb made research about the force produced by two electrically charged bodies. From the result of his research, he succeeded in finding out that the electric force between two electrically charged bodies was directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of distance between those two bodies. That statement is known as Coulomb's law.
In 1779 Coulomb published the treatise Theorie des machines simples (Theory os Simple Machine) that analysed friction in a machine. On August 23rd, 1806 Coulomb died. His name was immortalized as the unit of electric charge, that is Coulomb (C).

the nature of life in a particular habitat is determined to a large extent by the nonliving, or abiotic, part of the environment, that is, the environment's physical and chemical features such as salinity or bottom type. each environment makes different demands, and the organisms that live there must adapt to those demands. individual organisms can adapt to their environments to some extent through changes in their behavior, metabolism, pattern of growth, and other characteristics.

Why Do We Have To Learn Math? Discover 6 Good Reasons

Being Important to Learn Math Students will often pose frustrating questions of various types to teachers or parents. Frequently, these questions are not really questions at all, but more of a whining complaint accompanied with the motive to waste time or sidetrack the teachers lesson plan. Some of your most spontaneous, off the cuff, answers may include: " Because I said so," or; "Because we are having a test tomorrow." These words may slip out of our mouths even though we aware that these responses are inadequate. Sometimes however, the question is a legitimate one. A question we may have even asked ourselves from time to time. "Why do we have to learn math?" Below are a list of 6 good reasons to learn math. Also included is a possible assignment to give students to help them learn the reasons. Simple math concepts build on themselves. We need simple math concepts to work into more advanced math concepts. Even if you get a job working with people, you ...
