Lower resistivity means higher conductivity: among these materials, the best conductor is silver, therefore it must be the material with lowest resistivity among those. We can also have a look at the value of resistivity of the different materials listed in the problem, to check our answer. The resistivities of the materials are the following:
Wood:

Salt water:

Silver:

Lead:

<span>We see that the material with lowest resistivity among those is silver, therefore the correct answer is silver.</span>
X=r-p. Maybe I don't understand, but I am assuming that you need to isolate for X? you simply subtract p from both sides.<span />
Answer:
E_{k2}=2660 [J] kinetic energy.
Explanation:
The energy in the initial state i.e. when the rollercoaster is at the top is equal to the energy in the final state i.e. when it is at the bottom of the hill.
These states can be represented by means of the second equation.
![E_{k1}+E_{p1}=E_{k2}\\160 + 2500 = E_{k2}\\E_{k2}=2660 [J]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=E_%7Bk1%7D%2BE_%7Bp1%7D%3DE_%7Bk2%7D%5C%5C160%20%2B%202500%20%3D%20E_%7Bk2%7D%5C%5CE_%7Bk2%7D%3D2660%20%5BJ%5D)
Since the rollercoaster is located in the bottom of the hill where the potential energy level is zero, therefore there is only kinetic energy in the second state.
Answer:
Time taken to reach the tree
they have given the maximum height which is 25m
therefore...
v=u+at (upward)
0 = 45sin(20)-9.81t
t = 1.56s
