Before Science:
According to Nobel Prize.org, Ernest Rutherford was born August 30th, 1871. His home country is New Zealand. He had a very large family. He was the fourth of twelve kids. There were seven boys and five girls. Ernest Rutherford was a very intellectual student. He applied and was excepted into Nelson Collegiate School at age 16.
Accomplishments:
To start off, the Nobel Prize says that he was awarded with a University scholarship for the University of New Zealand which is basically like the Harvard or Stanford of New Zealand when he was only 18 years old.. His first researches were on magnetic properties of iron exposed to high frequencies. This experiment that he conducted was called the Magnetization of Iron by High-Frequency Discharges. Later, Ernest Rutherford instructed a detector for electromagnetic waves. This device was able to measure electromagnetic waves.

An Alpha ray is also known as an Alpha particle. These particles have two protons and two neutrons, so when an atom releases one Alpha particle that atom’s atomic number decreases by two. A Beta ray, also known as a Beta particle, is a fast-moving, high-energy electron emitted by radioactive decay of substances. Ernest Rutherford identified alpha particles as helium nuclei. Ernest Rutherford also postulated the nuclear structure of the atom. This means that he came up with the idea and convinced people that an atom had a nuclear structure, which it does. Another fun fact, is that he went to Cambridge University off of a scholarship that he earned. He became a pupil of J.J. Thompson. Late into the year, he became Thompson first graduate student. Eventually, he contributed and led to the exploration of nuclear physics. Ernest Rutherford was Cambridge University’s very first research student, states the Chemical Heritage Foundation and the Nobel
1. Choose one of the two shapes above and draw what the path of the marbles might look like if someone repeated the process we used in class. Include at least 10 marble rolls. Make sure that there would enough evidence to estimate the size, shape, and location of the object. Explain your rationale in between 5-7 sentences.
Author and playwright August Wilson’s Century Cycle, a series of ten plays representing the lives of African-Americans during each decade of the twentieth century, has widely been acknowledged by critics as well as the general public for its accurate depiction of the journey and struggles of the African-American community in its search for an identity in a white world. During the entire cycle Wilson almost exclusively focuses on black characters and their personal and collective stories.
Benjamin Franklin’s childhood was spent in Boston massachusett. He was born on January the 17 1709 in the old south meeting house which is located on milk street. He was also baptized that same day at the old south meeting house. He grew up with 17 other children in one household during the 1700’s. Soon after Benjamin grew up, he started inventing, discovering, and drafting important things that we use in the united states to this day.
He soon was recognized and got a job as a physicist. He was recruited by MIT to work on a project. When he was working, he invented the first
Here I focus on his life as a scientist and inventor, touching briefly on his other
Becoming impatient with Rutherford’s lack of response the commander asked, “Mr. Rutherford, is there anything you can tell me about this infection from a D.O.D. standpoint? I presume you’re here representing the Pentagon, correct?”
Before the Manhattan Project, in the beginning there were many advancements in understanding made in the world of physics. These resulted in the recognition of nuclear fission and its potential as an energy source and as a potential weapon. Of these advancements none was more central and important than the development of the nuclear model of the atom, which by the year of 1932 contained a nucleus containing most of the mass of an atom in the form of two particles, protons and neutrons. This nucleus was surrounded by an electron shell. Previously it was thought that atoms were the smallest form of matter therefore ultimately stable and indivisible. However, in 1919 Ernest Rutherford was able to break apart the nucleus of nitrogen with
During the early 1940’s atomic science had just began to mature. Many people were exploring the powerful mystery of the atom. Two of those people were Eugene Booth and John Dunning, who, in 1941, synthesized uranium-235. Immense scientific growth followed their contribution, since it allowed for nuclear fission (Griffith). In the years following this discovery, nuclear science took a turn. Once only used as a constructive power source, atoms began being explored for their destructive power. In 1942 the United States government funded the Manhattan Project that sole goal was to develop a nuclear bomb. The initiator for this endeavor was surprisingly the famous scientist Albert Einstein. He wrote to Franklin D. Roosevelt , and tipped him off
Hi! nice to meet you my name is Rutherford B. Hayes. You might think you know me but, yeah…you're probably wrong. Well let’s get this show on the road. Let’s start before I became president. In the early life.
It makes me mad as heck that black girls can't just be pretty. Black girls are just as pretty as the girls and other races. I don't understand how people can think otherwise. Generalizing a whole group of people when you've only best small portion of them is crap. I guess it's just funny that people hate being generalize but they do with other races anyway. I just want to send out a friendly reminder that you're pretty for a black girl is not a compliment. How dumb can you truly be to believe that that statement is not offensive. You've already proven to me that her head is full of nothing but stereotypes of black women. Ugly dumb big booty big boobs slim thick and curvy. Instead of seeing this as a people we actually are you're seeing this
Ernest Rutherford was a New Zealand born British physicist who is famously known for “splitting the atom.” His work on the gold foil experiment contributed greatly to the model of the atom and helped develop the standard model of the atom to what we now use today. Without his contributions we would still be using the Plum Pudding model, an out dated and incorrect model, and we would have less of an understanding of how atoms form the world around us.
An Atom is the the basic building block of all matter. Atoms are made up of Particles, called: Protons, neutrons and Electrons. Protons carry a positive charge, the neutron carry 's a neutral charge and the electron carry’s a negative charge. The Atom has two main parts the Nucleus and the Electron Shell. The Nucleus contains the Protons and Neutrons. The electron Shell Contains the The electrons.
He proposed that under certain circumstances light could be considered a particles. He also hypothesized that the energy carried by a photon is depositional to the frequency of radiation. The formula E= HU proves this. Virtually no one accepted this theory but thought differently when Robert Andrews Millikan proved it.
Over half the world’s countries have abolished the death penalty, the United States of America is one of the countries who haven’t. Out of the 50 states, 28 of the states don’t practice the death penalty, meaning 32 states still practice Capital punishment. Capital punishment is one of the most debated topics in America. Every argument brought up by one side of the debate is immediately challenged by the opposing side. Everyone appears to have a stance in this ongoing dispute. Although some opponents support capital punishment, it should be abolished and an alternate found in its place because it doesn’t give the victim’s family closure, the inhumane conditions during death row, and the fact it doesn’t work as a deterrent.

I like observing people. And conserving my energy, I mean, how many people would do something if it didn’t improve their life? Even if I were a social butter (which I am almost definitely not) I would most likely be a dark, brooding moth. Just waiting until someone finally makes it move. Have I shared a PB&J with anyone? No. Do I want your PB&J? Most definitely not. I like my own PB&J. You may believe that this is related to the fact that I have almost no friends, and that the friends I have are my Mom, my sis, and my dog, Art.
