← Muon ← Is created when a neutrino collides and combines with an H2O proton (weak force) ← Creates blue light ← High energy; travels faster than the speed of light (in water) ← Neutrino ← Type of particle: Lepton (like electrons and muons) ← Most abundant particle in the universe ▪ 1016 neutrinos are passing through your body at any point in time ← Theoretically discovered by Wolfgang Pauli (1930); actually discovered in 1955 ← Produced during nuclear reaction or changes

process‚ two hydrogen nuclei fuse together and a deuterium nucleus‚ which has one proton and one neutron‚ is formed. A neutrino is created‚ too. Then‚ the deuterium nucleus fuses with another proton and forms the nucleus of helium-3‚ with two protons and one neutron‚ during which time a gamma ray photon is released. Finally‚ two helium-3 fuse together and create helium-4 with two protons and two neutrons. 3. How does the Sun manage to maintain an environment in its core that is conducive to nuclear

* Compare the views of Hubble and Friedman about the expansion of the universe: Edwin Hubble’s observation In 1929‚ Edwin Hubble announced that his observations of galaxies outside our own Milky Way showed that they were systematically moving away from us with a speed that was proportional to their distance from us. The more distant the galaxy‚ the faster it was receding from us. The universe was expanding after all‚ just as General Relativity originally predicted! Hubble observed that the light

1. Isotope – atoms of an element that have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons. Ex. The three forms of oxygen are called oxygen-16‚ oxygen-17‚ and oxygen-18. They all have 8 electrons and are written as 16/8 O (8 protons + 8 neutrons)‚ 17/8 O (8 protons + 9 neutrons)‚ and 18/8 O (8 protons + 10 neutrons). 2. 3. Mass Number – the sum of the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of one atom of a particular element. Atomic Mass Unit (u) – a unit of mass that is

Atom= Smallest Unit of Matter Molecule= 2 or more atoms chemically bonded. 2) Describe paper chromatography. 3) Interpret simple chromatograms. A method used to separate a Solution‚ using a Paper and a beaker of water. The Substances in the Paper go up depending on their Mass. We can say that a Solution has the same substance as another solution because they form a line of the same height. 4) Describe methods of separation

On the morning of August 6‚ 1945‚ a B-29 bomber named Enola Gay flew over the industrial city of Hiroshima‚ Japan and dropped the first atomic bomb ever. The city went up in flames caused by the immense power equal to about 20‚000 tons of TNT. The project was a success. They were an unprecedented assemblage of civilian‚ and military scientific brain power-brilliant‚ intense‚ and young‚ the people that helped develop the bomb. Unknowingly they came to an isolated mountain setting‚ known as Los Alamos

Unlocking the Secrets of the Universe Increasing our knowledge of Physics‚ using the scientific method to make observations and test hypotheses is essential to unlocking the secrets of the universe. Energy is one of the most fundamental elements of the universe. Throughout history‚ man has endeavored to expose‚ understand‚ and explain how and why things work. This drive to expand our understanding eventually led to the development of the scientific method and what is commonly considered
