Answer:

(6) Is proportional to L and inversely proportional to A.

Explanation:

I will explain it mathematically, following formula relates Resistance to length of wire L and cross sectional area A.

$R = p\frac{L}{A}$

here, p is greek letter 'Rho' is called resistivity of the wire and L is lenght and A is cross sectional area of the wire.

By inspection we can tell that as length increases the resistance of wire increase, so resistance must be directly propoetional to length.

and resistance decrease as cross sectional area A decreases.

So the resistance must be directly proportional to Length of wire and inversly proportional to cross sectional area of wire.

option number (6) fits all of our deductions.

Answer:

Is proportional to L and inversely proportional to A

Explanation:

The electrical resistance 'R' of a simple conductor is a function of its length and area. It is shown by the simple mathematical relation as R = pL/ A

Where,' L' is the length of the

conductor, 'A' is the cross sectional area and 'p' is the resistivity.

What effect or effects would be most significant if the Moon's orbital plane were exactly the same as the ecliptic plane?

Lilit [14]

Answer:

c. Solar eclipses would be much more frequent.

Explanation:

The ecliptic plane is the apparent orbit that the sun describes around the earth (although it is the earth that orbits the sun), is the path the sun follows in earth's sky.

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon gets between the earth and the sun, so a shadow is cast on the earth because the light from the sun is blocked.

The reason why solar eclipses are not very frequent is because the moon's orbital plane is not in the same plane as the orbit of the earth around the sun, but rather that it is somewhat inclined with respect to it.

So if both orbits were aligned, the moon would interpose between the sun and the earth more frequently, producing more solar eclipses.

So, if the moon's orbital plane were exacly the same as the ecliptic plane solar eclipses would be more frequent.

the answer is: c.

What term describes an energy resource that can be used up?

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:
non-renewable energy resources are the ones that can be used up

Explanation:
Energy resources can be classified into two categories:
1- non renewable resources: these are the energy resources that cannot renew themselves. They are the resources that are formed from sources that can be consumed and run out. All fossil fuels are considered non renewable resources
Examples of non renewable energy resources: coal, oil, gas, petroleum , ......

2- renewable resources: these are the energy resources that are always present and can easily be renewed. Therefore, they do not come to an end.
Examples of renewable resources: solar energy, wind energy,.....

Based on the above, the energy resource that can be used up is the non renewable energy resource.

Hope this helps :)
