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

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Check the first and the third choices:

<u><em /></u>

  • <u><em>a. The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume</em></u>
  • <u><em>b. The temperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant.</em></u>

Explanation:

Rewrite the table for better understanding:

Temperature of gas (K)     Volume of gas (L)

     298                                     4.55

     315                                      4.81

     325                                     4.96

     335                                        ?

Calculate the ratios temperature to volume with 3 significant figures:

  • 298 / 4.55 = 65.5
  • 315 / 4.81 = 65.5
  • 325 / 4.96 = 65.5

Then, those numbers show a <u><em>constant temperature-to-volume ratio</em></u>, which may be expressed in a formula as:

  • Temperature / Volume = constant, which is a directly proportional variation (the volume increases in a constant proportion to the increase of the temperature).

Hence, the correct choices are:

  • The temperature of a gas is directly proportional to its volume (first statement), and
  • The emperature-to-volume ratio of a gas is constant (third statement).

What is an earth revolution, what shape is it's path, and how long does it last?
zaharov [31]

An Earth revolution is a trip around the sun in a closed path (relative to the sun).

The path is very nearly an ellipse with the sun at one focus, and a little less nearly a circle with the sun at the center.

One complete revolution takes roughly 365.24 days, and at that point, the Earth immediately begins another one.

We have a special word that we use to refer to that special period of time. In English, it's called a "year".
