Answer:

The correct answer is in the x-axis direction, where the distance travelled is 1.0 cm and the surface is 8 cm^{2}.

Explanation:

The electrical resistance is lower when the contact surface is larger and the length is shorter.

An electrical resistance is an opposition to the flow of electric current through a conductor. For a given conductor, the resistance is given by the following formula:

R = ρ * \frac{l}{S}

Where:

R: Electrical resistance.

ρ: Resistivity of the material.

l: Length.

S: Surface of the conductor.

Thus, the direction in which the electrical resistance is lower is when the distance is minimum and the area is greater.

Have a nice day!

What type of ethic is life-centered and views humans as just one component life on Earth
katrin [286]
The choices can be found elsewhere and as follows:

A anthropocentric 

B frontier 

C land

D biocentric


I think the correct answer is option A. It is anthropocentric the type of ethic that is life-centered and views humans as just one component life on Earth. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Answer:

Weight

Explanation:

Weight is the downward pull on an object due to gravity.

For example, the moon has less gravity than Earth so we would weigh less on the moon. Our Mass and volume always stay the same but our weight could change.

A solar eclipse that occurs when the new moon is too far from Earth to completely cover the Sun can be either a partial solar ec
liq [111]

Answer:

ANULAR ECLIPSE

Explanation:

ANULAR ECLIPSE. Because the moon is very far, only a portion of the sun would be obscured, and then only the moon's outer ring will be viewable; this is called the anular eclipse.The ring of fire marks the maximum stage of an annular solar eclipse.

A 3.0-kg block starts at rest at the top of a 37° incline, which is 5.0 m long. Its speed when it reaches the bottom is 2.0 m/s.
Mama L [17]

Answer: f_{r} = 16.49N

Explanation: The object is placed on an inclined plane at an angle of 37° thus making it weight have two component,

W_{x} = horizontal component of the weight = mgsinФ

W_{y} = vertical component of weight = mgcosФ

Due to the way the object is positioned, the horizontal component of force will accelerate the object thus acting as an applied force.

by using newton's law of motion, we have that

mgsinФ - f_{r} = ma

where m = mass of object=5kg

a = acceleration= unknown

Ф = angle of inclination = 37°

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s^{2}

f_{r} = frictional force = unknown

we need to first get the acceleration before the frictional force which is gotten by using the equation below

v^{2} = u^{2} + 2aS

where v = final velocity = 2m/s

u = initial velocity = 0m/s (because the object started from rest)

a= unknown

S= distance covered = length of plane = 5m

2^{2} = 0^{2} + 2*a*5\\\\4= 10 *a\\\\a = \frac{4}{10} \\a = 0.4m/s^{2}

we slot in a into the equation below to get frictional force

mgsinФ - f_{r} = ma

3 * 9.8 * sin 37 - f_{r} = 3* 0.4

17.9633 - f_{r} =  1.2

f_{r} = 17.9633 - 1.2

f_{r} = 16.49N

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three
Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding <em>F</em>₁ and <em>F</em>₂ is

<em>F</em>₁ + <em>F</em>₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force <em>F</em>₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + <em>F</em>₃ = -12 N

<em>F</em>₃ = -30 N

So <em>F</em>₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.
