Answer:

D. It has a low resistance and allows charges to move freely.

Explanation:

The high conductivity of copper allow charges to move freely without the need of too much force. The conductivity decreases with increase in resistance. Low resistance also means less heating of the conductors. This property of copper makes it ideal for use in the manufacture of electric cables and conductors for various gadgets.

Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

19.2*10^6 s

Explanation:

The equation for time dilation is:

$t = \frac{t'}{\sqrt{1-\frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$

Then, if it is observed to have a life of 6*10^6 s, and it travels at 0.95 c:

$t = \frac{6*10^6}{\sqrt{1-\frac{(0.95c)^2}{c^2}}} = 19.2*10^6 s$

It has a lifetime of 19.2*10^6 s when observed from a frame of reference in which the particle is at rest.
