<h3>Answer</h3>

(A) Resistance is directly related to length.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Formula for resistance

R = p(length) / A

where R = resistance

           p = resistivity(material of wire)

           A = cross sectional area

So it can be seen that resistance depends upon 3 factors that are length of wire , resistivity of wire and the cross sectional area of the wire.

If two of the factors, resistivity and cross sectional area, are kept constant then the resistance is directly proportional to the length of wire.

<h3> R ∝ length</h3>

This means that the resistance of the wire increases with the increase in length of the wire and decreases with the decrease of length of the wire.

not all objects have a volume that is measured easily. If you were to determine the mass, volume, and density of your textbook,
Maslowich

Text book: We can measure the mass of the text book easily by weighing machine, to measure the volume we need to measure the length, width, and height of the text book by the ruler, by multiplying these dimension we can get the volume of the text book, and by dividing the mass of the book with its volume we can get the density of the book.

Milk Container: We can measure the mass of the milk container easily by weighing machine, now (assuming the milk container is cylindrical in shape) we need to measure its height, and and diameter and by the formula (π*r^2*h) we can measure its volume, and and by dividing the mass  with its volume we can get the density of the milk container.

Air filled balloon: we can measure the mass of the air filled balloon by weighing it weight machine, we know that the density of air is 28.97 kg/m^3, by dividing the mass of the balloon with the denisty of air we can get the volume of the balloon.

Scientists often say that light and other forms of electromagnetic radiation have a dual nature
Alex

Answer:

Behaves as a wave.

Explanation:

The dual nature of light means that light behaves as a wave. If the light consisted of small particles, the alternating light and dark bands would not have occurred.

Sometimes it behaves like a particle (called a photon), which explains how light travels in straight lines.
