At critical temperature, the resistivity of the superconductor

B. It suddenly drops to zero

Explanation:

Materials can be classified into three different types depending on their resistance:

  • Conductors: these materials have generally low resistance and allow electricity to pass through easily. The resistance of a conductor increases linearly with the temperature
  • Insulators: these materials do not allow electricity to pass through - so they have very high resistance
  • Semi-conductors: these are materials that are insulators are room temperature, however they becomes conductors when heated. Therefore, the resistance of a semiconductor decreases when the temperature increases
  • Superconductors: these are special materials that are normally conductors; however, at very low temperatures (we are talking about temperature very near to 0 K), their resistance becomes suddenly zero.

Therefore, the correct answer is:

B. It suddenly drops to zero

Two students are watching a person riding a skateboard up and down a ramp. Each student shares what they think about the energy
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Raymond: I think the skateboarder has the same total energy at all points on the ramp

Explanation:

The total energy, also known as the total mechanical energy, is the sum of the kinetic and potential energies of the skateboarder

Given that the potential energy is the energy gained due to elevation, the maximum potential energy is obtained at the top of the ramp, while the maximum kinetic energy, which is the energy due to motion, is at the bottom of the ramp where the skateboarder moves fastest.

However, by the energy conservation principle, the kinetic energy of he skateboarder comes from the conversion of the potential energy, such that the total energy is the same at any particular point on the ramp.

16x^2y^2-25a^2b^2<br>factorize the expression​
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

(4xy+5ab)(4xy-5ab)

Explanation:

16x^{2}y^{2}-25a^{2}b^{2}

4^2 is 16 and 5^2 is 25,

Also, (x-a)(x+a) = x^2-a^2

So, this factorized is:

(4xy+5ab)(4xy-5ab)

Hope this helps!
