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.

Units such as Kilogram, Mass and Time are said to be fundamental units because they are independent.

Differences between Mass and weight;

1. Mass is the measure of the amount of matter in a body while weight is a measure of how the force of gravity acts upon that mass.

2. Mass is a scalar quantity while weight is a vector quantity

You are riding in an elevator that is accelerating upward. Suppose you stand on a scale. The reading on the scale is __________.
tatyana61 [14]

Given the following choices;

A) less than your true weight, mg.

B) equal to your true weight, mg.

C) more than your true weight, mg.

D) could be more or less than your true weight, mg, depending on the value of the speed.

The answer is; C

This is due to G-force. These are the perception of the weight of an object that is accelerating against gravity. We experience 1 g force on the surface of the earth because the ground exerts an upward exertion against gravity preventing as from falling to the center of the earth.
