In 1752, Benjamin Franklin had a theory that lightning was electricity. He wanted to prove that the power could be transferred t

o other objects. He grabbed a kite and experimented on a stormy afternoon.
Franklin believed that thunder clouds contained electrical charges. His plan was to fly the kite into the clouds so that electricity passed down the wet kite string. With Benjamin Franklinas his assistant, he went to work.

First, he tied an iron key to the silk kite string. Next, he ran a metal wire from the key into a jar designed to store electrical charges. Once the kite was in the air, he stood in a barn to keep safe and dry.

Soon, electrical charges from the clouds passed into the kite. They traveled along the wet string, to the key, down the wire, and into the jar. When Franklin reached his hand toward the key, he received a mild shock. The electricity had been captured and transferred. The experiment was a success.

At least it was for Benjamin Franklin. Other scientists were killed trying to duplicate his efforts. Looking back, it was not the safest way to test his theory. In this case, it worked out, and paved the way for future discoveries about electricity.

Which effect of industrialization made city centers somewhat unpleasant?
Tanya [424]
I wonder whether there would be also other options, but one very important aspect is the smog: the city center is where many industry-relevant things meet: the factories are all around it, transport, cars... and since it is surrounded by bad air, the air takes longer to dissipate. This is especially visible if the city is in a valley, such as Mexico city foe example.

ANSWER ASAP PLEASE AND THANK YOU!! :)) Why were legal systems like the Code of Hammurabi and the Ten Commandments important for
Levart [38]

Answer:

The correct answer is:

1. They prevent revenge killing by requiring punishment or compensation for wrongdoing.

Explanation:

The Code of Hammurabi is the first written law in human history, and it is important because it established punishments for certain crimes. That is why both this code and Ten Commandments are important, because they prevented anarchy. For every crime in the Code of Hammurabi you had a certain punishment, very often even a death sentence.

The second one is not correct because it cannot apply to Ten Commandments.

The third one is also not correct because the legal systems for not developed in that period that much.
