“10 famous physicist and their contributions” 1. Isaac Newton quantified and qualified the laws of motion and gravity. He also invented the reflecting telescope and co-invented the mathematic process of calculus. 2. Albert Einstein developed theories of relativity‚ and won a Nobel Prize for his work on the photoelectric effect. 3. Galileo Galilei improved on the refracting telescope and discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter‚ but he is most well-known for standing up

Austrian government‚ the Curie’s knew their finances would be shaky‚ but they agreed they would not patent their ideas‚ so they could not make money off of them. They published without a patent to their ideas‚ so they would not make any money off of the radium industry (Pasachoff 45-47). Pierre had to look for another job to support the family and took a job at the Sorbonne as a professor‚ but still worked with Marie (ibid). The Curie’s did not have to spend money on a sitter not did Marie have to give

The history of the periodic table reflects over a century of growth in the understanding of chemical properties‚ and culminates with the publication of the first actual periodic table by Dmitri Mendeleev in 1869.[1] While Mendeleev built upon earlier discoveries by such scientists as Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier and Stanislao Cannizzaro‚ the Russian scientist is generally given sole credit for development of the actualperiodic table itself. The table itself is a visual representation of the periodic

Approximately 40‚000 gallons of chemicals are used per fracturing. • Up to 600 chemicals are used in fracking fluid‚ including known carcinogens and toxins such as… lead‚ uranium‚ mercury‚ ethylene glycol‚ radium‚ methanol‚ hydrochloric acid‚ formaldehyde • The math: 500‚000 active gas wells in the US x 8 million gallons of water per fracking x 18 times a well can be fracked = 72 trillion gallons of water and 360 gallons of chemicals needed to run our

Too much can increase your risk for skin cancer. A small amount of radio radiation is enough to pick up a distant station on your radio‚ but too much in a microwave oven will cook you in seconds! A small amount of particle radiation in‚ say‚ the radium dial of a watch‚ is enough to make it glow in the dark harmlessly‚ but too much can destroy DNA in your cells and lead to mutations…even death! Neutron radiation is also encountered in nuclear power plants and high-altitude flight and emitted from

Have you ever wondered how Christopher Columbus and Marie Curie died? Well in the two different stories we read‚ the authors go through and talk about each person’s life from when they were younger to when they died. Throughout the both of the stories‚ you can see that Christopher Columbus and Marie were very much the same. But also the two people are very different.
