Answer:

c. 5cm \times 8cm

Explanation:

The dimensions 5cm\times 8cm have the highest cross-sectional area combination of 40cm^2.

-Resistance reduces with an increase in cross sectional area.

-Reason-Electrons have alarger area to flow through.

An object's weight is equal to its buoyant force in water. What would you expect to happen when the object is placed in water? E
barxatty [35]

Answer:

It will keep floating on the surface with a part of the body inside the liquid and a part outside it.

Explanation:

The Archimedes principle is the physical principle that states: a body totally or partially submerged in a fluid at rest, experiences an upward vertical thrust equal to the weight of the volume of fluid dislodged by the body. This force 1 is called hydrostatic thrust or Archimedes, and is measured in Newtons (in the SI). The Archimedes principle is formulated as follows:

flotation force  = liquid density  × force of gravity  × volume of liquid dislodged

Therefore in this case when placing a body in water whose weight is equal to the buoyant force, it will float in equilibrium on the surface of the liquid, since the volume of liquid that it displaces is equal to the weight of the body and this force of below upwards it keeps it on the surface with a part of the body inside the liquid and a force part of it. This is because only the volume of the necessary object is submerged to move the liquid corresponding to a buoyant force equal to its own weight.

When you rub a glass rod with a piece of silk, the glass rod becomes positively charged?
Lynna [10]
Glass loses electrons easily and silk takes them. Because electrons are negatively charged, the glass rod becomes positive and the silk becomes negative.

Which law of motion accounts for the following statement? "An apple accelerates as it falls from a tree."
belka [17]
Although one could definitely directly connect an "apple falling" with Newton's first law of motion, which is gravity, since the question states about acceleration, then we can relate the statement to Newton's second law of motion, the law of acceleration.
