#PZP114 This is my bike wheel I am spinning. It has a radius of 0.35 meters and is going 50 revolutions a minute which converts to 5.24 rad/s. If we use the formula: ac=rw^2 we get (0.35m)(5.24 rad/s)^2 = 9.61 m/s^2
#PZP114 Emilie du Chatelet was a mathematician and a physicist. Her and her lover Voltaire created a laboratory in her home, Chateau de Cirey. She is also known for her French translation of Newton's Principia which is still in use today.
#PZP114 Ada Lovelace was absolutely iconic and is credited w/ publishing the 1st algorithm to be carried out by a machine known as the Analytic Engine (much like a computer these days). She is known as the 1st comp programmer, a huge feat for a woman in the 1800's!
