Franklin had been waiting for an opportunity like this. He wanted to demonstrate the electrical nature of lightning, and to do so, he needed a thunderstorm.

He had his materials at the ready: a simple kite made with a large silk handkerchief, a hemp string, and a silk string. He also had a house key, a Leyden jar (a device that could store an electrical charge for later use), and a sharp length of wire. His son William assisted him.

Franklin had originally planned to conduct the experiment atop a Philadelphia church spire, according to his contemporary, British scientist Joseph Priestley (who, incidentally, is credited with discovering oxygen), but he changed his plans when he realized he could achieve the same goal by using a kite.

What is an elastic collision?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'

__________ is when a person becomes less sensitive to a drug. A. Tolerance B. Craving C. Addiction D. Dependence
Luden [163]
A) Tolerance

Tolerance is developed after using a drug repeatedly, so the body adapts to it. Because of that, people who develop a tolerance would then need to use more of that drug to get the same effect.

An object is projected horizontally at 18.4 m/s from the top of a 162.7 meter cliff.
miskamm [114]

Answer:

  106.03 meters  

Explanation:

The height is given by the formula for motion under the influence of gravity.

  h = -4.9t^2 +162.7

Height is 0 when ...

  0 = -4.9t^2 +162.7

  4.9t^2 = 162.7

  t^2 = 162.7/4.9

  t = √(162.7/4.9)

The horizontal distance traveled in that time is ...

  (18.4 m/s)√(162.7/4.9) s ≈ 106.03 m

The object will strike the ground about 106.03 meters from the base of the cliff.

How many times did thomas edison fail before inventing the lightbulb
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

he failed thousands of times

Explanation:

There is no known number for his failings. Edison may have failed in many of his experiments and in his schooling, but he had something better working in his favor. He had great determination and persistence.

He failed thousands of times in an attempt to develop an electric light, the great Edison simply viewed each unsuccessful experiment as the elimination of a solution that wouldn’t work, thereby moving him that much closer to a successful solution.
