A plane full of celebrities has crashed due to an explosion and it has killed all the celebrities, in the plane. However, one of the celebrities was murdered an hour before the explosion and empirical and molecular formulas are key to finding out who killed who and who was the cause of the explosion. A molecular formula gives all the atoms in the compound and an empirical formula is the lowest whole number ratio of the molecular formula. Both of the formulas are used to discover what compounds were present in the passenger's’ body and their baggage or on the plane. With the information that were collected, we were able to find out who murdered who and who was the terrorist. I believe that the murderer is Selena Gomez, and the murder victim was Miley Cyrus. Selena’s reason for the murder of Miley Cyrus was that she has hated Miley for a long time. According to the information that was gathered from various interviews about Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, Miley Cyrus created a YouTube video mocking Selena Gomez and her best friend, Demi Lovato and this had sparked a long feud between Miley and Selena. In addition, the media did not help at all naming Selena “The Next Miley Cyrus”. Plus before the flight, Selena Gomez also texted Demi Lovato saying.“I h8 this grl. It's about 2 b over”. This is implying that the feud will finally be over once Miley Cyrus is “over”, or in this cause dead. With this information and more information from the interviews and after finding the empirical…

Rock and Roll began with jazz, blues, folk, and gospel, and from there, it has morphed into the almost all-encompassing classification that we label the genre today.

This progression makes the popular music stand out and catchy to some. The textbook says that these chords are the base for the song and that all a musician has to do it repeat them in…

In the starting years of MTV, the majority of bands that used the new medium were British. British bands had already been experimenting with the style and fashion, “experimenting with the emergent medium for some time and arrived with stylish videos in hand” (Cateforis 54). Unlike American bands, these British bands had already adapted to a style suitable for television. After punk music, British bands kept the electronic instruments and “distinctions between automated and human performance were…
