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.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: 81.619 kJ

Explanation:

Given

Mass of roller coaster is m=230\ kg

It reaches the steepest hill with speed of u=6.2\ km/h\ or \ 1.72\ m/s

Hill to bottom is 51 m long with inclination of 45^{\circ}

Height of the hill is h=51\sin 45^{\circ}=36.06\ m

Conserving energy to get kinetic energy at bottom

Energy at top=Energy at bottom

\Rightarrow K_t+U_t=K_b+U_b\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{2}mu^2+mgh=K_b+0\\\\\Rightarrow K_b=0.5\times 230\times 1.72^2+230\times 9.8\times 36.06\\\Rightarrow K_b=340.216+81,279.24\\\Rightarrow K_b=81,619.456\ J\\\Rightarrow K_b=81.619\ kJ

A roller coaster car rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope as it starts down the slope its speed is 4m/s but 3 seconds
Gwar [14]

Answer:

The acceleration is 6 [m/s^2]

Explanation:

We can find the acceleration of the roller coaster using the kinematic equation for uniformly accelerated motion.

v_{f} =v_{i} + a*t\\where:\\v_{f} = final velocity = 22 [m/s]\\v_{i} = initial velocity = 4 [m/s]\\t = time = 3 [s]\\

Now replacing the values we have:

a=\frac{v_{f} - v_{i} }{t} \\a=\frac{22 - 4 }{3}\\a = 6 [m/s^{2} ]

What feelings do learned helplessness and depression have in common?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

Learned helplessness can have a profound impact on mental health and well-being. People who experience learned helplessness are also likely to experience symptoms of depression, elevated stress levels, and less motivation to take care of their physical health. Not everyone responds to experiences the same way.

Explanation:

Brainlist will be very accepted ;D *wink*

What is an Amplitude
dangina [55]

Amplitude is a measurement of the magnitude of displacement (or maximum disturbance) of a medium from its resting state, as diagramed in the peak deviation example below (it can also be a measurement of an electrical signal's increased or decreased strength above or below a nominal state).
