Answer:

Choice B. If the dimensions of the wires among the choices are the same, the copper one at room temperature would have the least electrical resistance.

Explanation:

Under room temperature, the electrical conductivity of copper is much better than that of steel.

Assume that the dimensions of the four wires are the same. Under the same temperature, the electrical resistance of the copper wire would be lower than that of the steel wire. Thus, $B < A$ .

The electrical resistance of metal conductors tend to increase as temperature increases.

Therefore, the resistance of a copper wire at room temperature would be higher than the resistance of the same wire at a higher temperature. Thus, $B < D$ .

Likewise, the resistance of the same steel wire would be higher at higher temperature. Thus, $A < C$ .

Overall, $B < A < C$ and $B < D$ . Therefore, the copper wire at room temperature would have the least electric resistance among all four choices.

Answer:

2.7 m/s²

Explanation:

Average acceleration is change in velocity over change in time. Assuming the acceleration is constant, we can say it is equal to the average:

a = Δv / Δt

a = (6.0 m/s - 0 m/s) / 2.2 s

a ≈ 2.7 m/s²

Ainat [17]

Answer:

The particle speed is constant.

Explanation:

Particles in gases travel quickly in all directions, frequently clashing with each other and the container's edge. The particles gather kinetic energy and travel faster as the temperature rises. The true average speed of the particles is determined by their mass and temperature; larger particles travel more slower around the same temperature than lighter particles.

Thus, the false statement about a wave moving through a constant speed is that:

The particle speed is constant.
