What happens to mechanical energy if the potential energy of an object decreases?

Physics

D. Mechanical energy remains unchanged.

Mechanical energy = Potential energy + Kinetic energy

So if potential energy decreases, then kinetic energy must increase so that the system is balanced.

Consider two copper wires. one has twice the length and twice the cross-sectional area of the other. how do the resistances of t
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

R = ρ L / A     where R is the resistance and ρ the resistivity:

R2 / R1 = (L2 / A2) / (L1 / A1) = L2 * A1 / (L1 * A2)

R2 / R1 =  (2 L * A) / (L * 2 A) = 1

Their resistances should be the same.

Multiple choice: Sunspots appear dark because
zepelin [54]

Answer: C. They are regions in which strong magnetic fields make it difficult for fresh supplies of hot, ionized gas to reach the photosphere

Explanation:

Sunspots appear dark because they are regions in which strong magnetic fields make it difficult for fresh supplies of hot, ionized gas to reach the photosphere.

Sunspots are typically cooler than their surroundings. For example, the temperature of a large sunspot can be about 4,000 Kelvin which is lower than the temperature of the photosphere around it which is about 5,800 Kelvin.
