Answer:

c: long and thin resistor.

Explanation:

The resistance of a resistor is given by:

R = ρ*L/A

where:

R = resistance

ρ = resistivity (depends on the material)

L = length of the material

A = cross-sectional area of the material

We can see that the length is on the numerator, which means that if we increase the length, then the resistance is increased.

We also can see that the cross-sectional area is on the denominator, then if we increase the area (for example, with a ticker resistor) the resistance decreases.

Then if we want to maximize the resistance, we need to have a long and thin resistor, so the correct answer is c.

You are on a cruise ship traveling north at a speed of 13 m/s with respect to land. 1) if you walk north toward the front of the

Brrunno [24]

In order to find the our own velocity with respect to land,we need to apply the theory of relative velocity.

Now consider the velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land as A.Consider our own velocity headed northwards as B.

The relative velocity is the velocity that the body A would appear to an observer on the body B and vice versa.

In this case the relative velocity would be arrived by summing up our velocity with the velocity of the ship as the object (I) is travelling in the ship.

Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.

Velocity of the ship traveling towards the north with respect to land(A)= 13.0m/s. (Given)

Our own velocity headed northwards(B)= 2.8 m/s.

Relative velocity = Velocity of Body A+ Velocity of Body B.

Relative velocity= 13.0 + 2.8 = 15.8m/s.

Thus our own velocity with respect to the land is 15.8 m/s.
