“When you’re through learning‚ you’re through” – Will Rodgers. The book‚ Inherit the Wind by Jerome Lawrence and Robert E. Lee‚ takes place in a small town in the heart of Tennessee‚ Hillsboro‚ and the Bible Belt in the 1920’s. The play covers one of the first evolution v. religion cases in the South. A teacher named Bertham Cates thought the teachings of Darwin were fascinating. Even though it was outlawed to teach evolution‚ he decided to teach his students the teachings. Not soon after‚ he finds

Kinetic Energy: Consider a baseball flying through the air. The ball is said to have "kinetic energy" by virtue of the fact that its in motion relative to the ground. You can see that it is has energy because it can do "work" on an object on the ground if it collides with it (either by pushing on it and/or damaging it during the collision). The formula for Kinetic energy‚ and for some of the other forms of energy described in this section will‚ is given in a later section of this primer. Potential

Examples of Radiant Energy The term radiant energy refers to energy that travels by waves or particles‚ particularly electromagnetic radiation such as heat or x-rays. Radiant energy is created through electromagnetic waves and was discovered in 1885 by Sir William Crookes. Fields in which this terminology is most often used are telecommunications‚ heating‚ radiometry‚ lighting‚ and in terms of energy created from the sun. Radiant energy is measured in joules.

Forms of Energy CHEMICAL Energy Chemical energy is stored in the bonds between atoms. This stored energy is released and absorbed when bonds are broken and new bonds are formed – chemical reactions. Chemical reactions change the way atoms are arranged. NUCLEAR Energy Nuclear energy is the stored potential of the nucleus‚ or center‚ of an individual atom. Most atoms are stable on Earth; they retain their identities as particular elements‚ like hydrogen‚ helium‚ iron‚ and carbon‚ as identified

Heat energy Temperature – measure of the average KE of the particles in a substance‚ measured in degrees Celsius or degrees Kelvin. Celsius 0⁰C (freezing point of water) to 100⁰C (boiling point of water) Kelvin 0 K (absolute zero‚ particles stop moving theoretically)‚ equivalent to -273.15⁰C. Uses the same scale for increase‚ ie. a 1⁰C increase in temperature equates to a 1K increase in temperature. Heat – amount of energy transferred‚ measured in Joules (J) Kinetic Energy‚ Thermal

Even though 12 people say you’re wrong and you broke the law‚ millions of other people are standing behind you saying you won. In the book Inherit the wind a man of the name betts cates was against the whole world. The two side are fighting over if Evolution should be taught in the classroom.Cates shows that he helped the world against a law that really showed up the facts about the past. I even though he didn’t win the case‚ he won by gaining millions of people support. Bert cates a young

Lab #7: Thermal Energy Heat is thermal energy being transferred from one place to another‚ because of temperature changes. This can take place by three processes. These three processes are known as conduction‚ convection‚ and radiation. When we place two objects with different temperatures in contact with each other‚ the heat from the hotter object will immediately and automatically flow to the colder object. This is known as conduction. Some objects make excellent conductors of heat while

Heat Heat is the transfer of energy from a hot object to a colder object‚ such as when toasting a slice of bread. The heat transfers onto the slice of bread which results in warm toast. When the slice of bread is heated‚ many things change; for example‚ the texture turns crunchy‚ the bread hardens‚ and the colour darkens. Where does the toast get its heat from? The toaster. Toaster A toaster is an electric small appliance designed to toast sliced bread by exposing it to heat. When a slice of bread

Movie Review: Gone with the Wind David O. Selznick’s Gone with the Wind‚ is a film based on the 1936 novel by Margaret Mitchell. This film is set in Georgia the spring of 1861‚ and follows the life of a wealthy southern belle‚ Scarlett O’Hara. While the film focuses on the trial and tribulations of Scarlett’s love life‚ it also depicts life during the civil war‚ and after the civil war. Although the films depiction of southern life is somewhat reasonable‚ there are some historical inaccuracies

Energy Resource Plan As the power bill is nearing to be three times as much as it has been‚ one thing on every household’s mind is‚ how are we going to conserve energy? Conserving energy is more than just “saving the planet”. It is preserving earth for future generations‚ your kids‚ your grandkids‚ and your lineage. We need to treat the earth like a precious family heirloom that is nearing its breaking point. There are two categories of energy: renewable and nonrenewable. Renewable energy comes
