Throughout the entire history of space flight no one has been more influential than this guy over here, Konstantine Tsiolkovsky. This guy, is often called the father of rocketry and for good reason, he managed to come up with an equation for rocket speeds in 1903, an equation that is still used today, he was known to be a famous visionary, writing sci fi books on man kinds dominance of space, and he also inspired new generations of rocket scientist to prove his theories correct and make them into reality. Tsiolkovsky was born into a middle class family his mother was Russian and his father was polish. When he was 9 he caught scarlet fever which nearly killed him, though he didn’t die he was left nearly deaf and because of this was expelled from school. Tsiolkovsky instead educated himself he developed an interest in mathematics and physics and when he was a teenager began get interested in space travel.
As a result of one of the most significant inventions of the 20th century, the long time dream of steered flying was finally made plausible by the aeroplane. With the dream of a flying machine being in fashion, many inventors designed flying-machines of they’re own, many never being able to reach an airborne state. Inspired by such innovations in they’re youth; the American Wright brothers made aeronautical history on December 17th, 1903, by flying the first airplane of they’re own design for a 12 second sustained flight covering 120 feet. Equipped with a steering system, the aeroplane without a doubt surpasses hot air balloons and gliders with its ability to be controlled and directed. In 1909, after the Wright brothers reached they’re record flight of 3 days, 10 hours and 24 minutes, the military took interest in the use of the aeroplane, soon having the Wright brothers signing a contract to develop a design for military use.
The candle wax burns as a vapor because when the smoke it’s put into the other flame, the flame gets bigger which means it’s feeding off of the smoke. That means wax has to burn as a vapor because it’s the only thing present. 3. The other requirement is oxygen because when the flask was put over the flame, the flame went out when the flask became a vacuum before the water reached the flame. 4.
Weapons and technology of WW2 World War two was considered by many to be the first modern war which implement lots of new inventions that were never seen before. There were advancements in all fields of war from underwater sub-marines to atmospheric rockets. Air power: During WW1 aircraft were mostly made out of wood and canvas which resulted in them being slow and weak, because of this most aircraft were used for spying and not for air to air combat. In WW2 new aircraft such as the Supermarine Spitfire and Lancaster Bomber were developed. These aircraft were larger and stronger and could travel much faster which meant that planes could do more than ever before.
(As you can guess, different fuels begin burning at different temperatures.) Heat or ignition sources lift fuel (combustible material) to its activation energy to start the fire. The fire generates heat which sustains the chemical reaction; the blaze continues and spreads. Some firefighting tactics shield the fuel from air (oxygen) to extinguish the blaze. Carbon dioxide fire extinguishers expel a cold fog of CO2 that cuts a fire off from its air supply.
The first Natural gas vehicle was first invented in 1860 by an unknown inventor, though it was known that the inventor was also experimenting with vehicles powered by hydrogen, oxygen and carbon, but nothing ever came of these experiments. The first time Natural gas was used for transportation starting in the 1930’s. As World War Two started scientists and resources were sent elsewhere to contribute to the war effort, and fossil fuels remained the dominant fuel since it was a reliable and widely known technology whereas Natural gas engines were still in the experimental stage. The next time that natural gas engines made an appearance was during the 1960s and 1970s oil and energy crisis, but instead of focusing the efforts of the American people on developing a new energy program it was decided to pursue efforts to increase production of oil. Natural gas engines disappeared until recently making a comeback.
The strong radiation from the atomic bomb contaminates the city. This radiation kills all of the people there. The explosion from the bomb whirls up massive amounts of dust and water. The dust and water become radioactively contaminated and fly several feet up. Then, the day after the nuclear explosion, the contaminated dust and water rain down and contaminate a large area.
In the First World War, the airplane was a very simple machine; it was made of wood and fabric because they were the easiest materials to work with and the most readily available. They were generally biplanes, a plane with two layers of wing, although some models had three wings or just one but the single wing airplane was more common in the Second World War. This was to keep the airplane as light as possible and because it was the only way known to be constructed at the time. The fighter aircraft had a maximum speed of 160 miles per hour but could only stay in air for a couple of hours before needing to refuel. Due to the small size of the fuel tank, the airplanes could only travel roughly 290 miles full round trip before landing again.
Atomic Bomb The atomic bombs of the 1940s were some of the most cutting edge technology for the time period. The creation and eventual use of such a weapon is widely disputed as morally wrong. In the history of warfare, only two nuclear weapons have ever been detonated offensively. It was during the Second World War that the United States became a world power, thanks in a large part to its monopoly on atomic weapons. The atomic bomb is a weapon with great explosive power that results form the sudden release of energy upon the splitting, or fission of the nuclei (World War 2 Database).
Henry Ford Have you ever thought about what the world would be like if there wasn't cars to take us to and from work or to the many places that we need to be during a day? Without the car, society might still be using horse and buggies for transportation, but one man made an incredible invention that changed the way americans traveled around thier city and countryside. That man was Henry Ford. Ford contributed multiple things to the automobile industry back in the early 1900's. His greatest contribution by far was the Model T car.
