<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.

An airplane is being pushed West by its engines with a force of 350 N as it starts to take off the runway at the Atlanta airport
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

option C

Explanation:

given,

Force by the engine on plane in West direction = 350 N

Frictional force on the runway = 100 N in east

force exerted by the wind = 100 N in east

net force and direction = ?

consider west to be positive and east be negative.

when airplane will be moving there will be frictional as well as wind resistance will be acting in opposite direction of airplane

Net force = 350 N - 100 N - 100 N

                 = 150 N

as our answer comes out to be positive so the airplane will be moving in West

hence, the correct answer is option C

How much current does it take to paralyze your muscles?​
satela [25.4K]

Answer: Current needed, mA 20 Voltage needed, V AC 6

Explanation: An electric gradient (or field) can exist that is analogous to the situation described above for step and touch potentials. The situation is more complex to analyze in the water because a person in the water assumes different postures and orientations in 3 dimensions (up, down, and sideways—north, south, east, and west). The transthoracic and translimb voltages will vary as the person moves in relation to the orientation (direction) of the electric field.
