The basket ball won't leak but the air would. the air will escape while it is being pressured by gravity, or when you bounce it. then the ball wouldn't work.

Because it has a small hole and air is like water, an area of higher pressure wants to move to a lower pressure area.

A resistor is made out of a long wire having a length L. Each end of the wire is attached to a termina of a battery providing a
Len [333]

Answer:

B) 2I

Explanation:

The equation that relates voltage, current and resistance is V=RI.

The equation for the resistance of a material in terms of its resistivity, length and cross-sectional area is R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

In this case, the length is divided by 2 while keeping its resistivity (since it's the same material) and area, which means the resistance gets divided by 2. Then, looking at the equation I=V/R and keeping V constant, one deduces that since the resistance now is half than before then current now must be twice as before.

This is all intuitive in fact, cuting a homogeneous resistor in half and leaving the rest of the variables constant makes twice as easy for the electrons to cross the conductor, thus twice the current (one has to know that all the variables involved behave linearly, as the equations show).

Look at the image of a salad with chicken on a counter top .in which direction is the thermal energy moving?
mars1129 [50]

Answer:

Well,

Explanation:

In this image, the thermal energy could be going both in an upwards and downwards direction. The chicken passes thermal energy to the salad under it. But at the same time, it is releasing smoke upwards, meaning it is also releasing thermal energy upwards.

Your average speed on the first half of a car trip is 69.0 km/h. How fast do you have to drive on the second half of the trip to
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

13 km/h

Explanation:

Average speed = distance/time

Let the total distance and total time taken for the whole trip be d km and t hours respectively

Average speed for the whole trip = 82 km/h

d = 82t

The distance covered in the first half = d1/2

Time taken = t/2

Average speed = 69 km/h

69 = d1/2 ÷ t/2

d1 = 69t

The distance covered in the second half = d2/2

Time taken = t/2

Let the average sly for the see half be A

A = d2/2 ÷ t/2

d2 = At

d = d1 + d2

82t = 69t + At

At = 82t - 69t

At = 13t

A = 13t/t = 13 km/h
