Answer:

How well a material conducts an electrical charge and is measured in ohms.

Explanation:

Resistance is the property of a conductor which opposes the flow of electric current. Its SI unit is ohms and represented by $\Omega$ . According to Ohm's law voltage is directly proportional to the current flowing through the circuit.

It depends directly on the length of the conductor and inversely on its area of cross section. It measure how well a material conducts an electrical charge. Hence, the correct option is (b).

A helicopter is ascending vertically with a speed of 5.10m/s. At a height of 105m above the Earth, a package is dropped from a w

Luden [163]

Here it is given that initial speed of the package will be same as speed of the helicopter

$v_i = 5.10 m/s$

displacement of the package as it is dropped on ground

$d = -105 m$

acceleration is due to gravity

$a = -9.8 m/s^2$

now by kinematics

$y = v* t + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

$-105 = 5.1 * t - \frac{1}{2}*9.8*t^2$

$4.9 t^2 - 5.1 t - 105 = 0$

by solving above equation we have

$t = 5.2 s$

so it will take 5.2 s to reach the ground

It takes you 5 min to walk with an average velocity of .75 m/s to the north from the parking lot to the entrance of the amusemen

skad [1K]

A displacement is a vector quantity that takes into account the shortest distance from the starting point to the endpoint.

The given above gave a time interval in minutes which needs to be converted to seconds. Given that each minute is 60 seconds, 5 minutes equal 300 seconds. To determine the distance, multiply time with speed. The product is 225 m.

Thus, the displacement is 225 m.

What is the outermost structure in a plant cell

dybincka [34]

Molecular structure of the primary cell wall in plants. Up to three strata or layers may be found in plant cell walls: The middle lamella, a layer rich in pectins. This outermost layer forms the interface between adjacent plant cells and glues them together.
