Electrical resistance. Ohms.

How well something conducts electricity is called its conductance, which is measured in siemens (S). Conductance is the reciprocal of an objects electrical resistance.

G=1/R

Does ststic electricity move objects?

Static electricity can attract objects or cause objects to stick together due to the imbalance of electric charges. However, it does not have the ability to physically move objects on its own.


What is the ability to transmit heat or electricity to other objects called?

The terminology for heat is thermal transfer. To transmit electricity over long distances the terminology would be transformation where transformers step the voltage to a very high value to cut down on line loss. This high voltage is then stepped down at the other end of the transmission line to be used by utility companies to sell to their customers.


What is the measure of an objects ability to remain at rest or keep moving?

inertia


How can people measure static electricity?

People can measure static electricity using devices such as an electroscope or a static electricity meter. These devices can detect and quantify the presence of static charges on objects or surfaces. Additionally, observing phenomena such as attraction or repulsion of lightweight objects can also provide indications of the presence of static electricity.

What are objects that do not transmit light called?

Objects that do not transmit light are called opaque objects. These objects absorb or reflect light, preventing it from passing through them. Examples include wood, metal, and concrete.


What are objects that reflect scatter or transmit light said to be?

Objects that reflect light are said to be "reflective", objects that scatter light are said to be "diffusive", and objects that transmit light are said to be "transparent" or "translucent".


What is the ability of the eye to distinguish two objects that are very close together called?

That ability is called visual acuity. It is a measure of the eye's capability to distinguish fine details and closely spaced objects.


Why do different elements have different colors?

The color of objects is determined by their ability to reflect, absorb, scatter or transmit light and also by the anatomy& physiology of the eye and brain.


Is a pop can a conductor or insulator?

A pop can is a conductor of electricity. Metal objects like aluminum cans are able to conduct electricity due to their ability to allow the flow of electrons.


How is an opaque object different from a translucent object in terms of its ability to transmit light?

Opaque objects don't allow light to pass through them while translucent objects slow the passage of light but ultimately allow it to pass through.


Whether or not an object is Translucent transparent or opaque is determined by its ability to what?

An object's ability to transmit light is what determines whether it is translucent, transparent, or opaque. Translucent objects allow some light to pass through, but they scatter it in different directions. Transparent objects allow light to pass through with minimal scattering. Opaque objects do not allow light to pass through at all.
