Theoretical plate

The chapter presents different theoretical aspects on Plate Tectonics, which help understand how Earth is built and its internal functioning mechanisms. Central to this theory is the fact that Earth's surface is made up of several large tectonic plates and a few smaller ones, which can be either continental or oceanic, and do not necessarily have the same boundaries as the continents or oceans. These plates shift over long periods of time, movements caused by a force resulted from the planet's internal

Organic Lab 1: Fractional Distillation Discussion: With the purpose of the experiment being to identify the 30 mL of unknown liquid, the theoretical basis of simple and fractional distillation must be deconstructed and applied to the data obtained describing the liquid in question. Simple distillation is a separation technique which can be used to separate and purify distillates from a liquid mixture which ideally contains one volatile and one non-volatile compound. If such ideal conditions are

1. Problem statement Acetone and chloroform are two molecules which have an attraction for each other and form a maximum-boiling azeotrope. Their boiling points (acetone = 329.4 K and chloroform = 334.3 K) are very close, however, they have considerably different molecular weights (acetone = 58.08 kg/kmol and chloroform = 117.4 kg/kmol). xy diagram of acetone/chloroform mixture at 1 atm is shown in Fig. 1 where the azeotropic composition is 36.28mol% of acetone and the temperature is 64.47°C (Kojima

accomplishments he is most famous for his theory of relativity. Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist, he also had influence on philosophy of science. Einstein was born on March fourteenth, 1879 in Germany. Einstein went to university of Zurich, he became a professor extraordinary at Zurich in 1909. After his job at Zurich, he later became an appointed director of Kaiser and became professor of theoretical physics, and a professor at the university of berlin (the Nobel prize in physics 1921

A learner needs sturdy foundations to grow wiser. Over time, he progresses from a basic understanding to a complex one. Like a puzzle, to see nature’s big picture one need to arrange its pieces. But, it is necessary to understand the mysteries of each piece before placing them together. I desire to understand the mysteries of nature. Physics grants an understanding of nature’s complexity and its beauty; and, thus, I chose it as my career. Now, I intend to gain the skill to better understand this

mathematics, however, unlike what I expected as when in college days I had absorbed every new concept, every hard differential equation with ease, being 36 years old, and away from demanding study for more than a decade, I found digging into special theoretical monographs not only involved fundamental physics and math, but demanding of deep thinking and hard grasping new abstract concepts. In a restroom, I splashed cold water on my face and took deep breaths, I needed a break

Richard Feynman What would you say if you could be a person that changed the way we understand the world around us with new understandings of quantum mechanics? A person that became more than just a renowned physicist and teacher, but became an icon. Well that person was Richard Feynman. During his lifetime, he became one of the most well-known scientist in the world. Feynman not only made many contributions to the world of quantum physics, but was also held in high regards for his amazing ability

The most beautiful theory, The Economist The Economist’s article “The most beautiful theory” discusses Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. It explains the origins of general relativity through Einstein’s initial thought experiments that eventually led to the realization that the university functions in four dimensions (“three spatial dimensions, one temporal one”) and that mass curved space-time, creating gravity. Over time, Einstein’s theory was verified by observations, such as those

Physics, Love, and Richard Feynman Introduction Physics. Love. These two words sum up the entities that Richard Feynman held most important throughout his entire life. An extraordinary individual, Feynman was able to combine an incredible mind with an incredible personality to achieve ends bordering on the magical. After Feynman's death in 1988, physicist Hans Bethe, paraphrasing the mathematician Mark Kac, spoke of two kinds of geniuses. He explained that the ordinary kind does great things

Likened to Albert Einstein, Emmy Noether didn’t care for her appearance and rather preferred to be judged on her mental capabilities. She played a pivotal role in the creation of abstract algebra, as well as a collaborator on multiple crucial cases one of which involved equipping a formula to Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. She was eccentric at times, unkempt, didn’t wear the traditional clothing for a woman of her time, and above all else she was brilliant in a time when women’s minds were
