<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 swinging pendulum has a total energy of <img src="https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_i" id="TexFormula1" title="E_i" alt="E_i" align="a

Zolol [24]

Answer:

$\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx 1 -\frac{3\theta}{1-\theta}$ (for small oscillations)

Explanation:

The total energy of the pendulum is equal to:

$E_{1} = m\cdot g \cdot (1-\cos \theta)\cdot L$

For small oscillations, the equation can be re-arranged into the following form:

$E_{1} \approx m\cdot g \cdot (1-\theta) \cdot L$

Where:

$\theta = \frac{A}{L^{2}}$ , measured in radians.

If the amplitude of pendulum oscillations is increase by a factor of 4, the angle of oscillation is $4\theta$ and the total energy of the pendulum is:

$E_{2} \approx m\cdot g \cdot (1-4\theta)\cdot L$

The factor of change is:

$\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx \frac{1 - 4\theta}{1-\theta}$

$\frac{E_{2}}{E_{1}} \approx 1 -\frac{3\theta}{1-\theta}$

A scalar is a mathematical term for:

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

c. A number and a unit

Explanation:

A scalar is a real number. We often use the term scalar in the context of vectors or matrices, to stress that a variable such as a is just a real number and not a vector or matrix.

Which is the best example of tropism in plants?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Here are some examples of tropism in plants : Sunflowers are one of the best examples of positive phototropism , as they always grow facing the sun.

Explanation:

Although some experts consider that perhaps such a clear growth movement should not be considered tropism.
