An element is a chemical substance that is made up of a
particular kind of atoms. Hence, it cannot be broken
down or transformed by a chemical reaction into a
different element, though it can be transmutated into
another element through a nuclear reaction. This is so,
because all of the atoms in a sample of an element have
the same number of protons, though they may be
different isotopes, with differing numbers of neutrons.
New ideas in physics often explain the fundamental
mechanisms of other sciences, while opening new
avenues of research in areas such as mathematics and
philosophy.
Physics also makes significant contributions through
advances in new technologies that arise from theoretical
breakthroughs. For example, advances in the
understanding of electromagnetism or nuclear physics led
directly to the development of new products which have
dramatically transformed modern-day society, such
as television, computers, domestic appliances,
and nuclear weapons; advances in thermodynamics led to
the development of industrialization; and advances
in mechanics inspired the development of calculus.
CD-ROM disks are very common and conform to a
standard. They are removable and can hold large
amounts of data. They are also cheap to make.
However, they are usually read-only. You cannot
change the information on them. They are also slow
compared to hard disks.

Magneto-optical disks are like CD-ROMs, but you

can write data on to them. They are removable,
have large capacities, and last for a long time, but
they are expensive and do not all conform to one
standard. For this reason they are not very
common.
The word trigonometry comes from the
Greek words trigonon (“triangle”) and
metron (“to measure”). If the lengths of
two sides of a triangle and the measure
of the enclosed angle are known, the
third side and the two remaining angles
can be calculated. Such calculations
distinguish trigonometry from geometry,
which mainly investigates qualitative
relations. Of course, this distinction is
not always absolute.
