Ang Bagong Papa Ni Eula?


LinkGrand.com

Ngayong tapos na ang "rocky marriage" ni Eula Valdes sa ngayon ay EX n'yang si Richard Litonja, usap-usapan naman ang relasyon n'ya with her new papa named Rocky Salumbides na isang ramp model.

Chika ni Eula, distansiya raw ang dahilan kung bakit nagkahiwalay sila ng kanyang asawa. At ito ngang si Rocky ay kontrobersiyal ngayon sa Bahay ni Kuya dahil sa diskriminasyon umano nito sa special housemate na si Rica.

And yes! Sa bahay mismo ni Kuya, inamin ni Rocky sa kanyang housemates na may relasyon nga sila ni Amor Powers! O, maitatanggi pa ba?

Faraday

LinkGrand.com

the quantity of charge carried by one mole of electrons (which is approximately equal to Avogadro's constant x the charge on an electron), which has the value 9.6487 x 104 coulombs. It was named after Michael Faraday (1791-1867), a British scientist whose contributions to physics and chemistry include ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION, electrolysis and MAGNETIC FIELDS.

Michael Faraday, FRS (22 September 1791 – 25 August 1867) was an English chemist and physicist (or natural philosopher, in the terminology of the time) who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.


Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current, and established the basis for the electromagnetic field concept in physics. He discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis. He established thatmagnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became viable for use in technology.


As a chemist, Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of chlorine, invented an early form of the bunsen burner and the system of oxidation numbers, and popularized terminology such as anode, cathode, electrode, and ion.


Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher mathematics, such as calculus, he was one of the most influential scientists in history. Some historians of science refer to him as the best experimentalist in the history of science.The SI unit of capacitance, the farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on a mole of electrons (about 96,485 coulombs). Faraday's law of induction states that a magnetic field changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force.


Faraday was the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, a position to which he was appointed for life.


Albert Einstein kept a photograph of Faraday on his study wall alongside pictures of Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell.


Faraday was highly religious; he was a member of the Sandemanian Church, a Christian sect founded in 1730 which demanded total faith and commitment. Biographers have noted that "a strong sense of the unity of God and nature pervaded Faraday's life and work."

Zodiac

LinkGrand.com

a zone within the CELESTIAL SPHERE which contains the paths of the planet, the Moon and the Sun. It is divided into the signs of the zodiac, named after the constellations.

_____________________________________________________________


In astronomy, the zodiac is the ring of constellations that lines the ecliptic, which is the apparent path of the Sun across the sky over the course of the year. The Moon and planets also lie within the ecliptic, and so are also within the constellations of the zodiac. In astrology, the zodiac denotes those signs that divide the ecliptic into twelve equal zones of celestial longitude. As such, the zodiac is a celestial coordinate system, to be more precise, an ecliptic coordinate system, taking the ecliptic as the origin of latitude, and the position of the sun at vernal equinox as the origin of longitude.


It is known to have been in use by the Roman era, based on concepts inherited by Hellenistic astronomy from Babylonian astronomy of the Chaldean period (mid-1st millennium BC), which, in turn, derived from an earlier system of lists of stars along the ecliptic. The construction of the zodiac is described in Ptolemy's Almagest (2nd century AD). It was originally described in Rigveda. The term zodiac may also refer to the region of the celestial sphere encompassing the paths of the Moon and the planets corresponding to the band of about eight arc degrees above and below the ecliptic. The zodiac of a given planet is the band that contains the path of that particular body; e.g., the "zodiac of the Moon" is the band of five degrees above and below the ecliptic. By extension, the "zodiac of the comets" may refer to the band encompassing most short-period comets.


The term zodiac derives from Latin zōdiacus, in turn from the Greek ζωδιακός κύκλος (zōdiakos kuklos), meaning circle of animals, derived from ζώδιον (zōdion), the diminutive of ζῶον (zōon) animal. The name is motivated by the fact that half of the signs of the classical Greek zodiac are represented as animals as well as two mythological hybrids.


Although the zodiac remains the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system in use in astronomy besides the equatorial one, the term and the names of the twelve signs are today mostly associated with horoscopic astrology.

Watt

LinkGrand.com

(W) a unit of power that is the rate of WORK done at I JOULE per second, i.e. I W = 1 Js-1.

Taken from Dictionary of Science

_______


The watt is a derived unit of power in the International System of Units (SI), named after the 18th-century Scottish engineeer James Watt. Its unit symbol is W. The unit measures the rate of energy conversion.



  • In terms of mechanical energy, one watt is the rate at which work is done when an object is moved at a speed of one meter per second against a force of one newton.

1W = 1Js-1 = 1kgm2s-3 = 1Nms-1

  • By the definitions of electric potential (volt) and current (ampere), work is done at a rate of one watt when one ampere flows through a potential difference of one volt.

1W=1V×1A
