Meet Emilie du Chatelet (see chapter on Energy).
Young French aristocrat from early 18th century. (age of enlightment)
Her translation  of Principia (Newton) is still the one  used today.
She was the friend and lover of the provocative Philosopher  Voltaire
She dared contradict Newton and showed, as suggested by Leibniz, that the kinetic energy (KE)  depends on the speed squared. 
She died at 43. (giving birth). She was the only female sphysicist of her time.

Q: Did you know that in Europe PHYSICS  is a requirement in HS ? Why not in America ?
A:  ?????????????????????????????????
WHY DO YOU NEED TO LEARN PHYSICS????  even if this is not your major. Listen to Dr. Richard Muller for an answer
