Which of the following would decrease the resistance in a wire?

Physics

<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.

At which temperature do the lattice and conduction electron contributions to the specific heat of Copper become equal.
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

At 3.86K

Explanation:

The following data are obtained from a straight line graph of C/T plotted against T2, where C is the measured heat capacity and T is the temperature:

gradient = 0.0469 mJ mol−1 K−4 vertical intercept = 0.7 mJ mol−1 K−2

Since the graph of C/T against T2 is a straight line, the are related by the straight line equation: C /T =γ+AT². Multiplying by T, we get C =γT +AT³ The electronic contribution is linear in T, so it would be given by the first term: Ce =γT. The lattice (phonon) contribution is proportional to T³, so it would be the second term: Cph =AT³. When they become equal, we can solve these 2 equations for T. This gives: T = √γ A .

We can find γ and A from the graph. Returning to the straight line equation C /T =γ+AT². we can see that γ would be the vertical intercept, and A would be the gradient. These 2 values are given. Substituting, we f ind: T =

√0.7/ 0.0469 = 3.86K.

Which type of mirror has a flat surface?
Vsevolod [243]
Most mirrors are plane mirrors that have a flat reflective surface. A plane mirror forms only virtual, right-side up, and life-sized images. A concave mirror is shaped like the inside of a bowl.

A ball is thrown horizontally at 25.8m/s from 54 meter high cliff. How far from the base of the cliff does the ball land?
mario62 [17]

Answer:

85.66m

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Horizontal velocity = 25.8m/s

Height = 54m

Initial velocity = 0

We would first of all, solve for the time taken using the formula for maximum height of a projectile.

H = ½gt²

Where;

  • H is the maximum height measured in meters.
  • g represents the acceleration due to gravity measured in meters per seconds square.
  • t represents the time taken measured in seconds.

We know that acceleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s²

Substituting into the equation

54 = ½*9.8t²

54 = 4.9t²

t² = 54/4.9

t² = 11.02

t = 3.32 secs

To find the distance;

Distance, x = velocity * time

x = vt

Substituting into the equation, we have;

x = 25.8*3.32

x = 85.66m
