    2 Copper is a good conductor of electricity. Copper is good conductor of electricity because it contains free electrons. Copper has one free electron per atom. The free electron concentration in copper is 8.5 x 1028 per m3. The electrons start flowing as soon as the switch is closed. But the electrons themselves travel much more slowly. So how does the current come on everywhere as soon as the switch is closed? It is because the free electrons are already spread throughout the wire. As soon as…

    Julius Robert Oppenheimer is remembered as a well-renowned citizen-scientist whose efforts in the field of theoretical and experimental physics produced a cornerstone in weapon development and the knowledge of the atom, but what can we say accounted for Oppenheimer’s success in his endeavors? Was it his drive for the knowledge of science, or was it the patriotism he had for his country that drove him to work endlessly on the creation of the atomic bomb? In an article in Modern American Poetry…

    The reading is about a Greek defended that was implemented in the Roman navy attack in 2000 century known as "Burning Mirror". The reading disagrees with the possibility of construction of that weapon by Greek people in that time for the following reasons. First, the ancient Greek was not technologically developed to construct this kind of weapon. Because the technology for manufacturing a large sheet of copper as well as the mirror used in that device was not available at that time. In…

    1. Fire scenes are different than the regular crime scenes because as for the evidence of a fire scene was most likely destroyed or burned, the person who committed the crime does not usually the crime scene. This makes it a little more difficult to piece together the suspect and convict someone of their crimes. 2. The blast effect is what happens when a rush of gasses from the source of the bomb blows outward. 3. Two types of high explosives are both primary and secondary. Primary explosives…

    Julius Robert Oppenheimer was a key factor in the development in the atomic bomb, and, though his work was not completely recognized until his death, his accomplishments are the basis of theoretical physics today. This book by Ray Monk describes the life of Oppenheimer through the theoretical physicist’s and his college’s works. Monk speaks of Oppenheimer’s work during the Manhattan project and how this wartime affair caused a shift of theoretical physics to the United States; furthermore, he…
