If a current­-carrying wire has a cross­-sectional area that gradually becomes smaller along the length of the wire, the drift velocity:
a. increases along the length of the wire if the resistance increases too
b. decreases along the length of the wire if the resistance decreases too
c. decreases along the length of the wire
d. increases along the length of the wire
e. remains the same along the length of the wire

After the near spacecraft passed mathilde, on several occasions rocket propellant was expelled to adjust the spacecraft's momentum in order to follow a path that would approach the asteroid eros, the final destination for the mission. after getting close to eros, further small adjustments made the momentum just right to give a circular orbit of radius 45 km (45 × 10^3 m) around the asteroid. so much propellant had been used that the final mass of the spacecraft while in circular orbit around eros was only 545 kg. the spacecraft took 1.04 days to make one complete circular orbit around eros. calculate what the mass of eros must be.

Acrow drops a 0.11kg clam onto a rocky beach from a height of 9.8m. what is the kinetic energy of the clam when it is 5.0m above the ground? what is its speed at that point?

Which best represents the law of conservation of mass ?
