How is the atomic bomb connected to Einstein?
Albert Einstein was a physicist who developed some of the early theories of nuclear reaction. Even though he would not work on the design of the atomic bombs, the scientist used his knowledge to develope it.One of his most famous equations was a simple one:E = m X C^2where 'E' is energy and 'm' is mass of a particle and 'c' is the speed of light.This equation stated that a particle could be converted into pure energy. The amount of energy that would be produced is the Square(^2) of the Speed of Light(c). This is a tremendous amount of energy. Once this equation was identified in the lab, then the scientists had to find a practical way of creating this nuclear reaction on a large scale.
Inventions of Albert Einstein?
Albert Einstein was a theoretical physicist, not an inventor (although he did once work in a patent office). While he did not invent things himself, his theoretical work was essential for a number of inventions that other people invented, including the atomic bomb and the laser.
Why did Einstein urge Franklin Roosevelt to authorize research on atomic weapons?
Einstein received word from colleagues that Nazi Germany might have been researching atomic weapon technology at the time. Einstein felt that it was his duty to warn the Americans that Germany might be developing their own atomic bomb at the time, and that America should rush to beat the Germans to the bomb. He met and wrote President Franklin Roosevelt to give these warnings. As a result of these meetings, the Manhattan Project was initiated to develop an atomic bomb before Germany did.Additional InformationActually, Einstein had no part in composing the famous letter to FDR. It was put together by Hungarian scientists Leo Szilard and Eugene Wigner. Once it was done, however, the Hungarians felt that the letter would receive a better reception if it bore the signature of the eminent Albert Einstein.
Was Einstein good at math?
yes Einstein was good in math but failed once in his school
Does your brain contain atoms that were once part of Albert Einstein?
It is almost definite that at least one of the atoms in your body was once part of Albert Einstein.
What is the Comparison of nuclear energy with other forms of energy?
The only difference is how it is made (nuclear energy involves some form of atomic fusion/fission process). Once the electricity leaves the power station, there is no difference.
Where is Munich and did Albert Einstein live there?
Munich is in Germany and yes Albert Einstein once did live in Munich
How was Einstein related to the speed of light?
They were third cousins once removed. They became acquainted when Einstein was in his middle teens.
What is Einsteine's equation for calculating energy in a spherical blob?
Einstein did not leave us an equation for calculating energy in a spherical blob except E=mc2. Find the total mass in the blob, grab some numbers for the thermodynamic energy in said blob, and go to town. There will be some major headaches dealing with the conversins in that atomic binding energy, molecular chemical bonding energy and some variables associated with the assessment of cohesive, crystalline or other structural-based energy components that are not directly addressed in the other calculations. By simply taking the mass of the blob and converting it using Einstein's E=mc2 and leaving off the other things, one can get a pretty close estimate of the energy in the blob. Once the mass-to-energy conversion is made, all the rest will seem a small drop in a very large bucket.
What motivated Albert Einstein to do his work?
What motivated Einstein was "an irresistible longing to uncover the secrets of nature", he once wrote that and it was in 1949.
Was Albert Einstein ever upset?
Yes he did once get very upset.
Why did albert Einstein once say about pants?
One cannot reside in pants.
