Which of the following would reduce the resistance of a metal wire?

Physics

Answer:

increasing its thickness

Explanation:

there are four major factors that affect the resistance of a metal wire, they are;

1. the length of the wire: the longer the length of a wire the higher the resistance

recall R=ρL/A

the above equation shows a direct relation between resistance and length

2. the temperature of the wire: the higher the temperature of a wire when heated up, the higher the resistance of the wire

3. the thickness or width of the wire: the higher the thickness the lower the resistance.

from the equation in 1 above, there is an inverse relationship between resistance and area(diameter inclusive) of a wire

4. the material of the wire: different wires have different values of resistivity(ρ). steel  shows higher levels of resistivity than copper

therefore, increasing thickness reduces resistance

A vehicle moving with a uniform a acceleration of 2m/s and has a velocity of 4m/s at a certain time .
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

1 second later the vehicle's velocity will be:

v(1)= 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\

5 seconds later the vehicle's velocity will be:

v(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

Recall the formula for the velocity of an object under constant accelerated motion (with acceleration "a"):

v(t)=v_0+a\,t

Therefore, in this case v_0=4\,\,\frac{m}{s}  and a=2\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}

so we can estimate the velocity of the vehicle at different times just by replacing the requested "t" in the expression:

v(t)=v_0+a\,t\\v(t)=4+2\,\,t\\v(1)=4+2\,(1) = 6\,\,\frac{m}{s} \\v(5)=4+2\,(5)=14\,\,\frac{m}{s}
