    explorers up to that point. But‚ were the technological advances of the Spanish the main factor to the fall of these “new world” leaders? But more importantly‚ how did the Spanish develop this technology before the Incans? The Battle of Cajamarca is a clear example of the inequality of technology. Spanish soldiers‚ who accounted roughly 200 soldiers‚ managed to overtake the Incan troops of over 80‚000. In addition‚ they brutally murdered their commanders‚ and took captive their leader‚ Atahualpa

    Chapter 3 In chapter 3 Jared Diamond discusses one of the most controversial battles that shifted the new world to what we know today‚ the Battle of Cajamarca. Diamond states in his book “The biggest population shift of modern times has been the colonization of the new World by Europeans‚ and the resulting conquest‚ numerical reduction‚ or complete disappearance of most groups of Native Americans.” This battle was between the Incas and the Spaniards. Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro led a

Collision Theory Illustration 1.2 -The following hypothetical chemical reaction illustrates the collision of the molecules of two gases‚ A2 and B2‚ to form another compound of AB. - Furthermore‚ the colliding species must be oriented in a manner favorable to the necessary rearrangement of atoms and electrons. Thus‚ according to the collision theory‚ the rate at which a chemical reaction proceeds is equal to the frequency of effective collisions. Because atomic or molecular

    1) Introduction This Lab is about conservation of momentum. It is to investigate the difference of momentum before and after collisions. Using the photo gates record the velocity of each cart‚ comparing momentum and kinetic energy to find the law. The experimental apparatus are two red carts in approximately same weight and a gold cart in lower weight than the red ones‚ a stable air track (blow a constant stream of air out through numerous tiny holes) with low friction and two photo gates. 2) Project

    Unit 6 – Momentum Internet Lab – Momentum and Collisions Name: Date: Period: Website: http://phet.colorado.edu/ Play with the Sims  Physics Motion  Collision Lab Introduction: When objects move‚ they have momentum. Momentum‚ p‚ is the product of an object’s mass (kg) and its velocity (m/s). The unit for momentum‚ p‚ is kg·m/s. During a collision objects transfer momentum to each other‚ resulting in different motions than before the collision. In this activity you will study the motion

    Collisions in Two Dimensions Abstract: This lab was conducted to investigate the theories of conservation of momentum and kinetic energy in different types of 2D collisions. In order to do this‚ both an elastic and inelastic collision was conducted on an air table with pucks. A video was taken and analyzed to determine velocity‚ allowing for future finding of momentum and kinetic energy values. By finding these‚ it was possible to determine which kind of collision took place. With low values of

    During a car crash‚ there are three different collisions that occur. The first one is the collision of the car and the opposing object‚ the second is the human inside the car and the car itself. The final collision is the ones that occur within the human body itself. BRAIN: The human brain is protected by the cranial cavity or the skull. The brain is suspended in a substance called the cerebral spinal fluid‚ which is denser than the skull itself. In a collision‚ the brain and cerebral spinal fluid begin
