Which of the following would decrease the resistance to the flow of an electric current through a body?

2 answers:

5 0

On page 37 it explains that If two conductors are composed of the same material and have the same cross-sectional area but different lengths, the electrical resistance of the longer conductor will be greater than that of the shorter conductor.

So the correct answer is A. shortening the conductor

R = ρ L/A. R= resistance, ρ= resistivity, L= length of the conductor. A = area of the conductor. Resistance is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. So if length of the conductor is decreased, resistance will also decrease. Hence A is the correct option

EX 6-1 A ball is twirled on a 0.870 - m-long string with a constant speed of 3.36 m / s . Calculate the acceleration of the ball

Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

$a=12.97\ m/s^2$

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of a string, l = 0.87 m

Speed of the ball, v = 3.36 m/s

We need to find the acceleration of the ball. The acceleration acting on the ball is centripetal acceleration. It is given by :

$a=\dfrac{v^2}{r}\\\\a=\dfrac{(3.36)^2}{0.87}\\\\=12.97\ m/s^2$

So, the acceleration of the ball is $12.97\ m/s^2$ .

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studied? an electromagnetic wave a gamma ray

Anettt [7]

<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>
