Question

1. What did Michael Faraday discover that affects our everyday lives?

2. How did the Lavoisiers demonstrate conservation of mass?

3. How did Madame de Chatelet show that energy is proportional to v²?

4. Draw a parallel between Lavoisier’s wall around Paris for taxation purposes and his concept of the Law of Conservation of Mass. Cite examples that illustrate your thesis.

5. What does E=mc² mean? How would you explain it to your friends? How does the equation unite the disparate realms of energy and matter? How helpful was the documentary in understanding the process by which the famous formula was developed?

6. What are some applications of E=mc²?

Atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima

Can you help me answer these questions? I mainly need help with number's 2-4. Thank you!

Answer 1

2)

He made lime from chalk and again chalk from lime. Proving in the process that mass of all reactants remained the same. Hence, law of conservation of mass.

3)

Newton had earlier suggested that kinetic energy is proportional to mv. Which was later contested by Madam Chatelete. She included the kinetic energy in the total energy equation. Thus deriving what we call law of conservation of energy

4)

As long as system mass is constant, the mass outside the system is also constant. If someone comes to sell outside goods in Paris, they imbalance the economy. Taxation is a way of Laviosier's attempt to re establish the balance.
