By using Ohm's law, we can find what should be the resistance of the wire, R:
R= \frac{V}{I}= \frac{1.5 V}{0.40 A} =3.75 \Omega

Then, let's find the cross-sectional area of the wire. Its radius is half the diameter,
r=35 mm=0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m
So the area is
A=\pi r^2 = \pi (0.35 \cdot 10^{-3} m)^2=3.85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2

And by using the resistivity  of the Aluminum, \rho=2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m, we can use the relationship between resistance R and resistivity:
R= \frac{\rho L}{A}
to find L, the length of the wire:
L= \frac{RA}{\rho}= \frac{(3.75 \Omega)(3,85 \cdot 10^{-7} m^2)}{2.65 \cdot 10^{-8} \Omega m}=54.48 m

Which of the following represents the velocity of an object?
mr_godi [17]

Answer:Velocity can be represented by an arrow, with the length of the arrow representing speed and the way the arrow points representing direction. Objects have the same velocity only if they are moving at the same speed and in the same direction. ... The SI unit for velocity is m/s, plus the direction the object is traveling.

Help with the number 2 question​
MArishka [77]

Answer:

It is frequently stated that the value of the acceleration due to gravity at the pole is larger than at the equator because the poles are closer to the center of the earth due to the earth's oblateness. ... The measured value is larger because the earth's density is not uniform but increases toward the center.

What is terminal velocity and how is it reached?
Ber [7]
He thermal velocity or thermal speed is a typical velocity of the thermal motion of particles which make up a gas, liquid, etc. Thus, indirectly, thermal velocity is a measure of temperature. Technically speaking it is a measure of the width of the peak in the Maxwell–Boltzmann particle velocity distribution.

What happens when you change the number of electrons in an atom
aalyn [17]
<h2>Answer: It becomes an Ion </h2>

When an atom has gained or lost electrons (negative charge), it becomes an ion.

In this sense:

<h2>Ions are atoms that have <u>gained or lost</u> electrons in their electronic cortex. </h2><h2> </h2>

If a neutral atom <u>loses electrons</u>, it remains with an excess of positive charge and transforms into a positive ion or <u>cation</u>, whereas if a neutral atom <u>gains electrons</u>, it acquires an excess of negative charge and transforms into a negative ion or <u>anion</u>.

It is then how ions form bonds with other atoms differently depending on the number of electrons they have.
