The wires that will have the least resistance is :
C. A short thick wire
in order to get the least resistence, you need the wire to be the lowest in length and the highest in Area

hope this helps

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The obstruction offered by the conductor in the path of flow of electrons is called the resistance of the conductor.

The reistance of the conductor is directly proportional to the length of the conductor and inversely proportional to the area of crossection of the conductor.

To minimize the resistance we need a wire of short length and more crossection area.

So, wire should be short and thick.

Define moment of momentum. at which condition is it's magnitude zero?

ololo11 [35]

Let's start with the concept of momentum. What is it? Linear momentum in physics is mathematically written as a product of mass and velocity of an object. Now let us suppose a body of mass m is moving in an inertial frame of reference with velocity v. Consider the fact that no external force is acting on the system. The momentum of this body is given by mv, where m is the mass and v is its velocity. In case of simple real world problems not delving into the realms of relativity, mass is a conserved quantity and it cannot be zero. Hence the velocity of the body must be zero and hence the momentum.

However, photons are considered to have a rest mass zero.

However note the point carefully "rest mass". A body in motion cannot have mass to be zero.

When a wire is made thicker its resistance what?

NeTakaya

Making a wire thicker has the same effect as making a road wider. It makes it easier for the electron traffic to flow. The resistance decreases, and the current (traffic) increases.

If the Earth and distant stars were stationary (motionless) in space, what would we observe about the wavelength from these star

dangina [55]

1) In the first case, the correct answer is
A.Wavelengths measured would match the actual wavelengths emitted.
In fact, the stars are not moving relative to Earth, so there is no shift in the measured wavelength.

2) In this second case, the correct answer is
A.Wavelengths measured would be shorter than the actual wavelengths emitted.
in fact, since the stars in this case are moving towards the Earth, then apparent frequency of their emitted light will be larger than the actual frequency, because of the Doppler effect, according to the formula:
$f'= \frac{c}{c+v_s} f_0$
where f0 is the actual frequency, f' the apparent frequency, c the speed of light and vs the velocity of the source (the stars) relative to the obsever (Earth). Vs is negative when the source is moving towards the observer, so the apparent frequency f' is larger than the actual frequency f0. But the wavelength is inversely proportional to the frequency, so the apparent wavelength will be shorter than the actual wavelength.

A flat, wide cloud floats horizontally a few kilometers above the surface of Earth. Its lower surface carries a uniform surface

valentinak56 [21]

Answer:

$\frac{kQ}{r^2} r^$

Explanation:

Electric field strength= Force/unit charge

E= (kQq/r²)/q ₓ r

where r is the unit vector in the direction of unit charge

E= $\frac{kQ}{r^2} r^$

Give reasons for the following:

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

a. lower surface area, less resistence

b. more surface area, the load is split so no single tire overstrained

c. more surface area, more resistance against the sand. human steps sink down in the sand.

d. rapid change in air pressure on eardrums lead to somewhat-painful tension

e. air would always find its way in so no pressure difference can be achieved

(would indeed appreciate the brainliest if you appreciate the work)
