Who developed a unit of electric potential and electromotive force

Answer:

Alessandro Volta

Explanation:

  • Alessandro Volta composed a letter to his amigo, Sir Joseph Banks at the Royal Society of London, in March 1800. In it, Volta drew an image of his voltaic heap, an exacting heap of 24 copper and zinc plates, in addition to cardboard circles absorbed salt. Volta at that point associated copper wires to both the top and base to utilize it as power source.  
  • The voltaic heap and wires would at that point, in principle, charge something helpful, similar to a light or a little engine, however since neither existed in 1800, Volta put the two wires on the tip of his tongue. His tongue, wet with salivation, was a decent conductor and finished the circuit. Volta gave himself a decent stun, accordingly demonstrating he had made another sort of battery, or electrochemical vitality source.  
  • While researchers presently don't prescribe putting live wires on your tongue, Volta was respected for his commitments to science and we named the volt (V), or the unit of measure for electric potential, in his respect.

A Fleas can jump up a distance as large as 33 cm horizontally in a single leap (they are only 0.3 mm in size!). What is their la
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Launch velocity of the fleas = 1.80 m/s

Explanation:

Optimal launch angle is the angle that guarantees the maximum horizontal distance covered.

Optimum launch angle = 45°

The horizontal distance covered by a projectile is given as Range

R = (u² sin 2θ)/g

u = initial velocity of the projectile (flea) = ?

R = range = 33 cm = 0.33 m

θ = 45°

2θ = 2 × 45° = 90°

Sin 90° = 1

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

R = (u²/g)

u² = Rg = 0.33 × 9.8 = 3.234

u = 1.80 m/s

Hope this helps!!!

Electricity may be categorized as static or current. how are these two types of energy different
arlik [135]
Hello!

Static electricity occurs due to an imbalance in positively and negatively charged atoms. An example of this is when you take your clothes out of the dryer, and feel a slight sting when touching them. Another example of static electricity is lightning.

Current electricity occurs when there is a constant flow of electrons, such as in plug-operated machinery or anything operated using a battery. :)

Which of the following is a conversion of potential to kinetic energy?
ruslelena [56]
Its either releasing a stretch rubber band and a ball rolling down a hill because rubber have a potential to move when its stretch and its an eleastic potential energy also a ball rolling down a hill is a gravitational to kinetic energy because the ball started at rest which is art the top of the hill and it has a potential to fall. Once its started rolling its energy transfer into kinetic energy.
Hope this helps

Three objects having the same mass begin at the same height, and all move down the same vertical distance H. One falls straight
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

Work done in all the three cases will be the same.

Explanation:

1) The free falling body has only one force acting on it, the gravitational force. The work done on the body = mgH (Gravitational potential energy)

2) There are two forces acting on the body going down on a frictionless inclined plane - gravity and the normal force. The gravitational potential energy will be the same. The work done due to the normal force is zero, since the direction of the force is perpendicular to the displacement. Hence, total work done on the body = mgH

3) In the case of the body swinging on the end of a string, the change in gravitational potential enrgy will once again be the same since difference in height is H. The additional force on the body is the tension due to the string. But the work done due to this force is <em>zero, </em>since the displacement of the body is perpendicular to the tension. Therefore, the total work done on the body is once again mgH.

How fast is a plane traveling if it traveled 400 km in 30 minutes
olganol [36]
  • Answer:

<em>800 km/h</em>

  • Explanation:

<em>Hi there ! </em>

<em>1 hour = 60 min</em>

<em>30 min = 0.5 hour</em>

<em />

<em>400 km ............ 0.5 h</em>

<em>    x km .............. 1 h</em>

<em />

<em>x = 400km×1h/0.5h</em>

<em>= 800 km/h</em>

<em />

<em>Good luck</em>
