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

maksim [4K]

Answer:

Black Hole

Explanation:

A black hole is a very dense and massive stellar object, which has a field of gravity so large that not even light can escape it.

Since it does not emit light, <u>we cannot see them directly</u>, hence the name of black hole.

So in this case,<u> if the object has a mass of 8 solar masses that is enough to form a black hole</u>, and <u>also cannot be seen</u>, all of this indicates that the object we are talking about is a black hole.

It should be mentioned that although these objects do not emit light, because it cannot escape due to the immense force of gravity, black holes can be detected by a type of radiation emitted on their event horizon due to quantum effects called Hawking radiation .

coldgirl [10]

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m

The velocity of sound on a particular day outside is 331 meters/second. What is the frequency of a tone if it has a wavelength o
Leya [2.2K]
Answer:
frequency = 5.52 * 10² Hz

Explanation:
the equation that relates velocity, frequency and wavelength is:
velocity = frequency * wavelength

We are given that:
velocity = 331 m/sec
wavelength = 0.6 m

Substitute with the givens in the equation to get the frequency as follows:
velocity = frequency * wavelength
331 = frequency * 0.6
frequency = 331 / 0.6
frequency = 5.52 * 10² Hz

Hope this helps :)
