ANSWER is JAMES P. JOULE.James Prescott Joule English physicist who established that the various forms of energy mechanical, electrical, and heat are basically the same and can be CHANGED from one into another.In 1840 that the amount of heat per second that develops in a wire carrying a current is proportional to the electrical resistance of the wire and the square of the current.He determined that the heat evolved per second is equivalent to the electric power absorbed, or the power loss.A quantitative form of Joule’s law is that the heat evolved per second, or the electric power loss, P, equals the current I squared times the resistance R or P = I2R.The power P has units of watts, or joules per second when the current is expressed in amperes and the resistance in ohms.Isaac NewtonNewton’s first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line.It will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.Galileo GalileiItalian natural philosopher, astronomer, and mathematician who made fundamental contributions to the SCIENCES of motion, astronomy, and strength of materials and to the development of the scientific method.Galileo deduced from his experiments that a body in motion would remain in motion unless a force caused it to come to rest.J. J. ThomsonIn 1903, Thomson proposed a model of the atom consisting of positive and negative charges, present in equal amounts so that an atom would be electrically neutral.Electron was discovered by J. J. Thomson in 1897 when he was studying the properties of the cathode rays.
