Answer:
Option A is correct.
The wires will be arranged in order of increasing resistance.
Explanation:
The resistance of a wire is given by
r = (ρl)/A
where r = resistance of the wire
ρ = resistivity of the wire
L = length of the wire
A = cross sectional area of the wire
Provided all the other parameters are constant, resistance is inversely proportional to cross sectional area
r ∝ (1/A)
And the the cross sectional Area of the wire increases with increase in thickness & decreases with thickness
So, decreasing thickness ----> Decreasing Cross sectional Area ----> Increasing resistance.
Answer:
Doubling the large mass
Explanation:
Doubling the destance bewteen the masses will simply make the gravitational force weaker

Answer:
<em>d. The sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>
<em></em>
Explanation:
Let us take the momentum of a photon unit as u
we know that the rate of change of momentum is proportional to the force exerted.
For a absorbing surface, the photon is absorbed, therefore the final momentum is zero. From this we can say that
F = (u - 0)/t = u/t
for a unit time, the force is proportional to the momentum of the wave due to its energy density. Therefore,
F = u
For a reflecting surface, the momentum of the wave strikes the sail and changes direction. Since we know that the speed of light does not change, then the force is proportional to
F = (u - (-u))/t = 2u/t
just as the we did above, it becomes
F = 2u.
From this we can see that the force for a reflective sail is twice of that for an absorbing sail, and we know that the pressure is proportional to the force for a given area. From these, we conclude that <em>the sail should be reflective because in this case the momentum transferred to the sail per unit area per unit time is larger than for absorbing sail, therefore the radiation pressure is larger for the reflective sail.</em>
