Define and discuss why mass equivalence is a key to understanding why energy is released in nuclear reactions. Define rest energy and use examples. Correlate rest energy to potential energy. Use Einsteins's formula to show the relationship between mass and energy. Indicate that resting energy can be converted into other forms, and discuss examples. Discuss mass defect which occurs in chemical and nuclear reactions.
For our final session before the AP exam , we reviewed Joshua's literary argument essay taken from a practice exam. I stressed the need to choose a literary work with which Joshua was very familiar as well as the need to offer an interpretation in the introductory paragraph . I further demonstrated how to tie the paragraphs together by incorporating thematic ideas raised in the introduction. We further worked on stating an interpretation without incorporating. trite maxims . Last, we studied how to earn the sophistication point by referencing similar literary works that reflect on the theme of the essay.
Discuss why a great deal of energy is released by nuclear reactions Define rest energy and compare it to potential energy. Show how rest energy is related to mass using Einstein's formula. Discuss how rest energy can be converted to other forms. Review the formula for work and discuss how much work, energy is needed to overcome the strong nuclear force
Introduce natural and synthetic polymers. Define both and define polymer. Discuss proteins and nucleic acids as naturally occurring polymers, with molecular masses in the millions. Present some recently developed artificial polymers, along with their structural formulas, common names and uses. Elicit how how to identify the structural formulas.
