What would decrease the resistance of wires carrying an electric current?

Physics

Answer:

shorter wires

Explanation:

Resistance, R = ρL / A

where R = Resistance, ρ = constant called Resistivity, L = Length and A = Area,

From the formula, above, the Resistance R would decrease if the length is small.

Answer:

Shorter wires

Explanation:

The formula used to find the resistance of wires carrying electric current is given by :

R=\rho \dfrac{l}{A}...............(1)

Where

\rho is the resistivity of the substance

l is the length of the wire

A is the area of cross section  

From equation (1), it is clear that the resistance of the wire is directly proportional to its length. So, by decreasing the length of the wire, the resistance of the wire decrease. Hence, the correct option is (a).

Which trait shared by dolphins and bats possibly lead to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups? the need to m
Lisa [10]

A trait shared by dolphins and bats that possibly led to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups will be the need to move quickly through dark environments.

<h3>What is the evolution of echolocation?</h3>

Our understanding of the evolution of echolocation in bats has shifted as a result of recent molecular phylogenies. These phylogenies imply that bats with advanced echolocation

According to one interpretation of these trees, laryngeal echolocation originated in the ancestor of all living bats. Echolocation may have been lost in Old World fruit bats

The vast adaptive radiation in echolocation call design is substantially controlled by ecology, demonstrating how environmental perceptual problems influence call design.

A trait shared by dolphins and bats that possibly led to the evolution of echolocation in these two animal groups will be the need to move quickly through dark environments.

Hence option A is correct.

To learn more about the evolution of echolocation refer to the link;

In the process of loading a ship, a shipping container gets dropped into the water and sinks to the bottom of the harbor. Salvag
jolli1 [7]

Answer:

57.885.8 kg   weight of the container

Explanation:

The volume of the balloon * density of water = buoyant force of balloon

 volume of a sphere = 4/3 pi r^3

                                   = 4/3 pi * (1.5)^3 = 14.14 m^3   <===balloon volume

Now,   find the buoyant force on the container ALONE ....

             5.8 * 2.6 * 2.8  * 1027  = 43 364  kg   <=====  buoyant force

Now add the buoyant force of the balloon to find the weight

             43 364  +   14.14 * 1027 = 57885.8   kg

A 35-gram stainless steel ball on a track is moving at a velocity of 9 m/s. On the same track, a 75-gram stainless steel ball is
elena-s [515]

Answer:

4.2 m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

(35 g) (9 m/s) + (75 g) (-7 m/s) = (35 g) (-15 m/s) + (75 g) v

315 g m/s − 525 g m/s = -525 g m/s + (75 g) v

315 g m/s = (75 g) v

v = 4.2 m/s
