C. Thick wire and cold temperature.
Explanation:
The resistance of a wire is given by: R = (ρL)/A
where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length of the wire, A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.
From the formula, we see that the thicker the wire, the larger A, therefore the smaller the resistivity. so, a thick wire will have lower resistivity.
Moreover, the resistance of a wire increases with the temperature. In fact, high temperatures mean more motion of the atoms/electrons inside the wire, so more resistance to the flow of current through it. Therefore, colder temperature means lower resistance.
So, the correct option is thick wire and cold temperature.
Answer:
3.5 hours
Explanation:
Speed = distance/time
Let the distance that Fiora biked at 20 mi/h through be x miles and the time it took her to bike through that distance be t hours at 20 mi/h
Then, the rest of the distance that she biked at 14 mi/h is (112 - x) miles
And the time she spent biking at 14 mi/h the rest of the distance = (6.5 - t) hours
Her first biking speed = 20 mph = 20 miles/hour
Speed = distance/time
20 = x/t
x = 20 t (eqn 1)
Her second biking speed = 14 mph = 14 miles/hour
14 = (112 - x)/(6.5 - t)
112 - x = 14 (6.5 - t)
112 - x = 91 - 14t (eqn 2)
Substitute for x in (eqn 2)
112 - 20t = 91 - 14t
20t - 14t = 112 - 91
6t = 21
t = 3.5 hours
x = 20t = 20 × 3.5 = 70 miles.
(112 - x) = 112 - 70 = 42 miles
(6.5 - t) = 6.5 - 3.5 = 3 hours
Meaning that she travelled at 20 mi/h for 3.5 hours.
It’s easier to lift the wheelbarrow when the load is near the front because there isn’t any pressure near the back where the handles are.
Hot air has a lower density than the surrounding atmosphere, therefore,it will rise.. The reason it is "cold" in the upper atmosphere is actually because of a lower air density.
