If the cross-sectional area of a wire is decreased while all other factors remain the same, how will the resistance change?

Physics
1 answer:
Nataly [62]3 years ago

Answer:

A. It will increase

Explanation:

Area of a wire is:

R = ρL/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the wire,

L is the length of the wire,

and A is the cross-sectional area.

If A decreases, while ρ and L stay the same, then R will increase.

A 10-kg piece of aluminum sits at the bottom of a lake, right next to a 10-kg piece of lead, which is much denser than aluminum.
zalisa [80]

Answer:

Aluminium

Explanation:

When a body is immersed in a liquid partly or wholly it experiences an upward force which is called buoyant force.

The amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed, density of liquid and the value of acceleration due to gravity.

Here, the density of liquid is same in both the cases and g be the same. So, here the amount of buoyant force depends on the volume of body immersed.

As the density of lead is more than the density of aluminium, so the volume of aluminium is more than lead, as volume is equal to mass divided by density. So, the buoyant force acting on the aluminium is more than lead.

A train travels 67 kilometers in 1 hours, and then 81 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
Naddika [18.5K]
Answer: 24.7 km/h

Explanation:

1) Average speed definition and formula

The average speed is the total distance run divided by the time elapsed:

S = distance / time

2) Distance 1 = 67 km

3) Distance 2 = 81 km

4) Total distance traveled = 67 km + 81 km = 148 km

5) time 1 = 1 hour

6) time 2 = 5 hours

7) total time = time 1 + time 2 = 1 h + 5 h = 6 h

8) Average speed:

S = 148 km / 6 h = 24.7 km/h
