<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire

Explanation:

Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded.  The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.

Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.

A car travels at a constant rate for 100 miles going due west for one hour. Then it travels at a constant rate for another 75 mi
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

C. 100 mph west

Explanation:

Average velocity is total displacement over total time.  During the first hour, the average velocity is:

v_avg = 100 mi / 1 hr

v_avg = 100 mph west

Since the velocity is constant, the instantaneous velocity at any time equals the average velocity.

v = v_avg

v = 100 mph west

A 900-kg car traveling east at 15.0 m/s collides with a 750-kg car traveling west at 20.0 m/s. The cars stick together. What is
andriy [413]

Answer:

17.27m/s

Explanation:

M1U1 + M2U2 = (M1+M2)V

(900x15) + (750 x 20) = (900+750)V

13500+15000 = (1650)V

28500 = 1650v

V = 28500/1650 = 17.27m/s

V = 17.27m/s

a bicycle accelerates at 1 m/s² from an initial velocity of 4 m/s² for 10s. Find the distance moved by it during this interval o
BaLLatris [955]

Answer:

90 m

Explanation:

Acceleration, a=\frac {v-u}{t} where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively, t is the time taken

Substituting 1 m/s^{2} for a,  4 m/s for u and 10 s for t then

1*10=v-4

v=14 m/s

From kinematic equations

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

Making s the subject then

s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2a}=\frac {14^{2}-4^{2}}{2\times 1}=90 m

For the Doppler Effect to occur, ____. Question 25 options: the sound source must be moving the listener must be moving both sou
Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer: A) <u>Either source or listener must be moving.</u>

Explanation:

Frequencies can shift if an observer is moving relative to the wave’s source. This type of shift is called the Doppler effect (often used to analyze sounds). Think about the sound you hear when a police siren passes you and drives away; as the car increases its distance from you, the pitch of its sound becomes lower. This is because each wave is emitted from a greater distance, causing the wavelength to spread out or increase relative to you, the listener.
