If the cross-section of a wire of fixed length is doubled,  the resistance of that wire change into doubled.We know that <span>the total </span>length<span> of the wires will </span>affect<span> the amount of </span>resistance. <span> The longer the wire, the more </span>resistance<span> that there will be so the answer is doubled.</span>

Some life forms move so slowly that their movement cannot be detected by normal observation. The best way to determine any movem
romanna [79]
Not sure the precise concept of "normal observation", but I assume that is observed by "eyes".

Eye observation is basically macroscopic, but when you use a mark, which can be regarded as a point of mass, then it goes to microscopic.

Mark is a reference point which you can compare the relative position change, but with your eyes, first you cannot notice microscopic changes, second the eyes cannot precisely set a stable reference point.

A hungry 169169 kg lion running northward at 77.377.3 km/hr attacks and holds onto a 31.731.7 kg Thomson's gazelle running eastw
navik [9.2K]

Answer:  75,242.9 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following parameters

mass of Lion (ML) = 169,169 kg

velocity of lion (VL) = 777,377.7 m/s

mass of Gazelle (Mg) = 31,731.7 kg

velocity of Gazelle (Vg) = 63,863.8 kg

mass of Lion and Gazelle (M) = 200,900.7 kg

velocity of Lion and Gazelle (V) = ?

The first figure below shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their direction.

The second diagram shows the motion of the Lion and Gazelle with their directions rearranged to form a right angle triangle.

from the triangle formed we can get the velocity of the Lion and Gazelle immediately after collision using their momentum and Phytaghoras theorem

momentum = mass x velocity

momentum of the Lion = 169,169 x 77,377.3 = 13,089,840,463.7 kgm/s

momentum of the Gazelle = 31,731.7 x 63,863.8 = 2,026,506,942.46 kgm/s

momentum of the Lion and Gazelle = 200,900.7  x V

now applying Phytaghoras theorem we have

13,089,840,463.7 + 2,026,506,942.46 =  200,900.7 x V

15,116,347,406.16 = 200,900.7 x V

V = 75,242.9 m/s
