Did you know that a 100 pound girl would weigh 234 pounds on Jupiter? And, did you know that the suface of a blue-colored star can reach a toasty 72,000 degrees Fahrenheit?
These and other fascinating facts are part of the Physical Science Module. The Module includes Astronomy, Chemistry and Physics.
Astronomy
For example: Top Ten Closest Comet Approaches to Earth - Lexell
Date: July 1,1770 Distance: 874,200 miles.Top 10 Closest Stars - Proxima Centauri
Distance: 24,793 billion miles 39,923 billion km 4.22 light years.
Chemistry
For example: Silver
Atomic Number 47
Atomic Weight 107.8682
Oxidation States +1
Electronegativity, Pauling 1.93.Ideal Gas Law
pV = nRT
Where V equals the volume of n moles with pressure p and temperature T, and R equals the gas constant.
Physics
For example: Alpha Particle - Helium nucleus ejected from the nucleus of a radioactive nuclide during a radioactive reaction. The atomic number decreases by 2 and the atomic mass by 4.
Einstein's Equation
E = mc2
m = mass
c = speed of light (3 * 108m/s)
E = energy.
