Answer:

Second Option: it suddenly drops to zero

Explanation:

Superconductors are resistance free materials that enable (allow) <u>electricity conduction (i.e. electron transportation between atoms)</u>.

As the superconductor temperature is gradually lowered, eventually a Critical Temperature is reached, where the <u>superconductor electrical resistivity</u> suddenly drops to zero. Such drop is so fast, that can be described as a complete matter-phase transition. This is in contrast with typical conductors,<em> where with gradually decreasing temperature there is also a gradually decreasing resistivity (which is also true at temperatures of near absolute zero). </em>

Thus the correct answer is the Second Option: it suddenly drops to zero

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

b ) The problem is based on Doppler's effect of sound

f = f₀ x (V - v₀) /( V+v_s)

f is apparent frequency ,f₀ is real frequency , V is velocity of sound , v₀ is velocity of observer going away  , v_s is velocity of source going away

778  = 840 x (340 - 14)/ (340 + v_s)

340 + v_s = 341.18

v_s = 1.18 m /s

it will go  away from   the observer or the cyclist.

speed of train = 1.18 m /s

a )

For a stationary observer v₀ = 0

f = f₀ x V  /( V+v_s)

= 840 x 340 / (340 + 1.180)

= 837 Hz

A box is pushed horizontally with constant speed across a rough horizontal surface. Which of the following must be true?
Pavel [41]
D

Because if an object is moving at a constant speed the force of friction must equal the applied (horizontal) force, and for it to be accelerating or decelerating, the force of friction and the applied force must be unequal

A lawyer drives from her​ home, located 1 mile east and 8 miles north of the town​ courthouse, to her​ office, located 4 miles w
givi [52]

Answer:

d = 13 miles

Explanation:

Lets say the position of court house is origin in this case

her office is located at 4 miles west and 4 miles south of court house

so here we have coordinate of the office with respect to court house is given as

r_1 = (-4\hat i - 4\hat j)

now the position of her home is located at 1 miles east and 8 miles north of the court house

so the coordinates of her home is given as

r_2 = (1\hat i + 8 \hat j)

now the change in the position is given as the distance between office and home

d = r_2 - r_1

d = 5 \hat i + 12 \hat j

d = \sqrt{5^2 + 12^2} = 13 miles
