    can oscillate, and if it does so in a certain way, it appears as an electron, but if does in other ways, it can be seen as another subatomic particle (Güijosa). Essentially, everything is made of strings that vibrate in a way that give them distinct properties ("String Theory”). Similarly to an instrument such as a piano, different frequencies produce different particles, and this comparison brings forth unification (Greene 2005). This concept is reinforced by physicists’ recent detection of…

    resistant. However, this raises the question: what exactly are the properties of copper that give it its properties? An element is a chemical substance in its simplest form. An atom is the basic unit of a chemical element. An atom consists of particles such as electrons, protons, and neutrons. The protons and neutrons of the atom make up its center, called the nucleus, and its electrons surround the nucleus from a certain distance.…

    the bombing, a secret project dubbed “the Manhattan Project” was being led in the United States. The objective of this project was to develop a new weapon instantaneously unleashing the tremendous energy stored in these newly understood nuclear particles. The subsequent effects of the use of this weapon were devastating. Many historians believe the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima prevented an allied invasion of the Japanese mainland and swiftly ended the war. The effects of the…

    Moles 1.How is molar mass calculated and why is it useful? Molar mass is calculated by going to the periodic table finding each mass of each element in the compound then adding them all up based on how many of those elements are in the compound. 2.Define a mole in chemistry and give 3 examples equivalent units that are used in chemical calculations. Mole is considered the unit for amount in chemistry other units that are equivalent are atoms, formula units, and molecules. Gas Laws 3.How is the…

    Elements are made of a single type of atom, which cannot be broken down into anything smaller. Inside an atom are the subatomic particles protons (positively charged) and neutrons (neutral), and outside are the electrons (negatively charged) that orbit the atom in an electron cloud. When two or more atoms of an element or elements bond together, they form a compound. Depending on the type of elements, there are different kinds of bonds that could form. Ionic bonds form between the atoms of at…

    rays are high-energy, subatomic particles that appear outside the Earth’s atmosphere. These rays are known to strike to down on Earth, which may seem dangerous but even very energetic primary rays crash into the Earth’s atmosphere and they basically never make it to the ground. However, there are some secondary particles that are almost thrown from the collision and eventually can make it all the way to the Earth’s surface. However, this small amount of low energy particles has been interacting…

    metals, such as iron, copper or calcium or non-metals such as carbon, oxygen or nitrogen. Chemistry is concerned with the way atoms link together to form molecules, which are the natural chemical units of matter. Molecules represent the smallest particle of a chemical compound which retains the characteristics and chemical properties of the compound. With the rare exception of certain single atom molecules, almost all molecules consist of two or more atoms linked together. An atom of the…

    creation of the universe. Father Yung stated “ nothing can arise from nothing” he believes that God was the cause of the big bang. When asked about studies that showed particles can suddenly pop into and out of the universe randomly at the subatomic level, Father Yung said that he believed that God was behind the curtain adding these particles into our universe. Philosophers like William Paley look around at our world and see something designed by something greater than ourselves. Paley…

    John Sinclair Dr. Philip Carlson General Physics I 11/28/2015 Physics Worldview Paper 6.67408 × 10-11 m3 kg-1 s-2. This number is the universal gravitational constant. It is an empirical physical constant denoted by the capitol letter G. The gravitational constant was first used in Newton’s law of universal gravitation [1] which states that any two bodies attract one another with a force which is directly proportional to the product of the two masses, and inversely proportional to the square…

    being present in a substance and cannot exist independently (Van Gulick). One substance can have different properties. “For example subatomic particles such as Protons, neutrons and electrons have mass, and they also have charge. Charge and mass are different basic properties but the thing that has mass is the same thing that has charge, specifically the particle” (Van Gulick). “Nevertheless it seems highly plausible…
