Was the U.S justified in their Decision to Drop the Atomic Bomb? Before WWII‚ the United States strongly supported the idea of Isolationism‚ meaning they did not want to be involved in wars. As the time passed the United States found them turning away from neutrality by providing armed weapons to other nations. When other countries could not afford to buy products‚ the U.S could not afford to lose business‚ so they came up with a Lend-Lease Act and Cash and Carry. Both selling and lending items

The atomic bomb‚ a powerful weapon‚ launched an already weary world into a state of paranoia and political tension. This discovery‚ while spectacular in its own right‚ caused a need for new international laws. For safety reasons‚ a weapon of mass destruction cannot exist without regulations. Constant danger of instant death and nuclear explosions provoked more hostility than World War II itself. Without any defense against this cataclysmic force‚ the world was in desperate need for reassurance. The

before the atomic bombs were planned to be dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima‚ they were both on the list to be fire bombed. What’s the difference besides that one bomb is more deadly and new to the world? The cities would both be in ruins anyway. Some may even say that being hit by the atomic bomb was better than being hit by a fire bomb; the atomic bomb‚ when right underneath‚ vaporized people on spot‚ not a lot of pain; the fire bomb burns you to death. Also with this‚ the atomic bomb is new and

On August 6‚ 1945‚ during World War II (1939-45)‚ an American B-29 bomber dropped the world’s first deployed atomic bomb named the Enola Gay over the Japanese city of Hiroshima. It is said to have dropped right over Shima Surgical Hospital some 70 yards southeast of the Industrial Promotional Hall (now known as the Atomic Bomb Dome). The explosion wiped out 90 percent of the city and immediately killed 80‚000 people; tens of thousands more would later die of radiation exposure. Crewmembers of the

The film the Atomic Café Project is a film that covers the beginnings of the era of nuclear warfare‚ created from a broad range of archival film from the 1940s‚ 1950s and early 1960s. The Louvin Brothers’ 1952 classic‚ “Great Atomic Power‚” was recorded in the aftermath of the World War II bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I don’t think there would be any issue with showing this film to new employees. After watching the film‚ I think that everyone will grow their own opinion about the consequences

Historical Development of Atomic Structure Yazan Fahmawi Sept. 30‚ 1995 T3 IBS Chemistry Ms. Redman The idea behind the "atom" goes back to the Ancient Greek society‚ where scientists believed that all matter was made of smaller‚ more fundamental particles called elements. They called these particles atoms‚ meaning "not divisible." Then came the chemists and physicists of the 16th and 17th centuries who discovered various formulae of various salts and water‚ hence discovering the idea of a molecule

Meitner‚ Ernst Marsden‚ and Hans Geiger. All of these physicists impacted the development of the atomic theory one way or another. Albert Einstein was a German physicist who moved to America to share his knowledge about the atomic theory. In 1905‚ he wrote a famous paper that concerned tiny particles and how they moved in a liquid or gas. Einstein took Brownian motion(Browns law) and confirmed the atomic theory of matter by the use of Brownian motion. This was some of the first proof that atoms actually

respiration. Urea is produced in the liver from excess amino acids. Where are the substances excreted? Carbon dioxide is passed from the cells of respiring tissues into the blood stream. It is transported in the blood (mostly in the form of hydrogen carbonate ions) to the lung. In the lungs the carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli to be excreted as we breathe out. Urea is produced by breaking down excess amino acids in the liver. This process is known as deamination. The urea is then

Introduction: This experiment will investigate the factors that affect the rate of reaction of the enzyme catalyse‚ an enzyme found in food such as potato and liver. Catalyse is used to remove hydrogen peroxide from cells. The enzyme speeds up the rate of decomposition of hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen. The reaction is: Catalyse is able to speed up the process because the enzyme lowers the activation energy of the reaction. This means that the free energy required for the reaction
