Answer:

Neap tides, which also occur twice a month, happen when the sun and moon are at right angles to each other. ... This occurs twice each month. The moon appears new (dark) when it is directly between the Earth and the sun. The moon appears full when the Earth is between the moon and the sun.

LenKa [72]

<em>The correct option is </em><em>A</em>. The information we know about the known exoplanets is estimates of orbits and masses.

<h3>What is exoplanets?</h3>

An exoplanet or extrasolar planet is a planet outside the Solar System.

In other words, exoplanet is any planet beyond our solar system.

<h3>Characteristics of exoplanets</h3>

exoplanets are known for the following characteristics;

they are usually hot
they can orbit their stars so tightly that a “year” lasts only a few days
they can orbit two suns at once

Thus, the information we know about the known exoplanets is estimates of orbits and masses.

The length of a certain wire is kept same while its radius is doubled. what is the new resistivity of this wire?

anastassius [24]

The text does not specify whether the resistance R of the wire must be kept the same or not: here I assume R must be kept the same.

The relationship between the resistance and the resistivity of a wire is
$\rho = \frac{AR}{L}$
where
$\rho$ is the resistivity
A is the cross-sectional area
R is the resistance
L is the wire length

the cross-sectional area is given by
$A=\pi r^2$
where r is the radius of the wire. Substituting in the previous equation ,we find
$\rho = \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L}$

For the new wire, the length L is kept the same (L'=L) while the radius is doubled (r'=2r), so the new resistivity is
$\rho' = \frac{\pi r'^2 R}{L'}= \frac{\pi (2r)^2 R}{L}=4 \frac{\pi r^2 R}{L} = 4 \rho$
Therefore, the new resistivity must be 4 times the original one.

Football player 1 has a mass of 80 kg and a velocity of 2 m/s east while player 2 has a mass of 70 kg and a velocity of 3 m/s we

sukhopar [10]

The total momentum of the system is equal to 50 Kgm/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass 1 = 80 kg

Velocity 1 = 2 m/s east.

Mass 2 = 70 kg

Velocity 2 = 3 m/s west.

To determine the total momentum of the system:

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

$Momentum = mass \times velocity$

<u>For Football player 1:</u>

$Momentum = 80 \times 2$

Momentum 1 = 160 Kgm/s.

<u>For Football player 2:</u>

$Momentum = 70 \times 3$

Momentum 1 = 210 Kgm/s.

Now, we can calculate the total momentum of the system:

$Total\;momentum = momentum \;2 - momentum \;1\\\\Total\;momentum = 210-160$

Total momentum = 50 Kgm/s.

<u>Note:</u> We subtracted because the football players were moving in opposite directions.

In which situation will the lowest resistance occur?

MrMuchimi

C. Thick wire and cold temperature.

Explanation:

The resistance of a wire is given by: R = (ρL)/A

where ρ is the resistivity of the material, L is the length of the wire, A is the cross-sectional area of the wire.

From the formula, we see that the thicker the wire, the larger A, therefore the smaller the resistivity. so, a thick wire will have lower resistivity.

Moreover, the resistance of a wire increases with the temperature. In fact, high temperatures mean more motion of the atoms/electrons inside the wire, so more resistance to the flow of current through it. Therefore, colder temperature means lower resistance.

So, the correct option is thick wire and cold temperature.
