Answer:

option (a)

Explanation:

Wire 1:

length = 2L

Area = 2 A

Wire 2: length = L

Area = A

As we know that the resistance of a wire is directly proportional to the length of the wire and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the wire.

Let ρ be the resistivity of the cooper wire.

Resistance of wire 1

R1 = ρ x 2L / 2 A = ρ L / A

Resistance of wire 2:

R2 = ρ x L /  A = ρ L / A

As R1 = R2

It means both the wires have same resistance.

A horizontal uniform meter stick supported at the 50-cm mark has a mass of 0.50 kg hanging from it at the 20-cm mark and a 0.30
ElenaW [278]

Answer:

70 cm

Explanation:

0.5 kg at 20 cm

0.3 kg at 60 cm

x = Distance of the third 0.6 kg mass

Meter stick hanging at 50 cm

Torque about the support point is given by (torque is conserved)

0.5(50-20)=0.3(60-50)+0.6x\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{0.5(50-20)-0.3(60-50)}{0.6}\\\Rightarrow x=20\ cm

The position of the third mass of 0.6 kg is at 20+50 = 70 cm

Which types of questions can most likely be answered through a scientific investigation?
Sindrei [870]

Subjective questions can be answered most likely through well-designed scientific investigations. Investigating peoples opinions or favorites does not involve any scientific investigations.

<h3>What are scientific investigation?</h3>

Scientific investigations include study on different natural phenomenon through well designed research methodologies. They include a preliminary hypothesis based on observations and various scientific records helps for reference.

Through well designed scientific experiments we can solve subjective questions and can be helpful in solving different environmental or social issues.

Peoples opinion or objective types questions are not targeted at scientific investigation, hence, option b is correct.

To find more on scientific investigations, refer here:
