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.

True since coulomb's law states that There is electric force between like charges or opposite charges. The negative sign only shows the nature of the force.

<h3>What is the coulombs law ?</h3>

coulombs formula is given by

F=  \dfrac{K\times q_{1} \times q_{2}}{r^{2} }

Now it states that if two charged particles are separated by the distance r and having same or opposite charge will attract or repel each other.

The intensity of the force depend upon the distance and the nature of the charge.

Hence coulomb's law states that There is electric force between like charges or opposite charges. The negative sign only shows the nature of the force.

An airplane flying at 115 m/s due east makes a gradual turn following a circular path to fly south. The turn takes 15 seconds to
bulgar [2K]

To solve this exercise it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Centripetal and Perimeter acceleration of a circle.

The perimeter of a circle is defined by

P = 2\pi r

Where,

r= radius

While centripetal acceleration is defined by

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

Where,

v= velocity

r= radius

PART A)

The distance of a body can be defined based on the speed and the time traveled, that is

x = v*t

For our values the distance is equal to

x = 15*115=1725m

The plane when going to make the turn from east to south makes a quarter of the circumference that is

\frac{P}{4} = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

The same route you take is the distance traveled, that is

x = \frac{P}{4}

x = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

1725 = \frac{2\pi r}{4}

r = 1098.17m

PART B)

With the radius is possible calculate he centripetal acceleration,

a = \frac{v^2}{r}

a = \frac{115^2}{1098.17}

a = 12.04m/s^2

Therefore the radius of the curva that the plane follows in making the turn is 1098.17m with a centripetal acceleration of 12.04m/s^2

A backpack weighs 8.2 newtons and has a mass of 5kg on the moon. What is the strength of the gravity on the moon?
Pavel [41]
Weight is equivalent to the product of the mass of an object and the strength of the gravitational field.

Using:
F = ma

a = 8.2 / 5
a = 1.64 N/kg

The gravitational field strength is equivalent to 1.64 N/kg.

Which of the following strategies would most likely improve water conservation at a plant that manufactures computer chips?
Burka [1]
The correct option is D.
Water conservation have to do with all the efforts that are made by individuals, government and organisations to ensure that water resources are well managed and preserved for present and future humans' use. The chip manufacturing company in the question given above can ensure water preservation by using non toxic chemicals that will not harm the aquatic environment where they will eventually discharge their wastes. And in case, the wastes of this company are buried, it can affect the water table of the community where the company is located if the wastes contain toxic materials.
