A student is given three wires that are made from different materials, but each wire has the same physical dimensions. For a given experiment, both ends of one wire are connected to a constant voltage power supply so that a closed circuit is established. The student has access to an ammeter and a voltmeter to make measurements for each wire. Which of the following types of data need to be collected to rank the wires in terms of their resistivity. Justify your selection. A) Use the ammeter to measure the current that flows through each wire, because a larger current that flows through the wire corresponds to a larger resistivity. B) Use the ammeter to measure the current that flows through each wire, because a larger current that flows through the wire corresponds to a smaller resistivity. C) Use the voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the wire, because a larger potential difference corresponds to a larger resistivity. D) Use the voltmeter to measure the potential difference across the wire, because a larger potential difference corresponds to a larger resistivity.

Does work output exceed work input when a machine is used? a) yes, it does, as machines create energy. b) it depends on the type of machine used. c) no, it doesn’t, as machines are inefficient. d) no, it doesn’t, as machines cannot create energy.

Read this excerpt from a room of one's own by virginia woolf: nick greene, i thought, remembering the story i had madeabout shakespeare's sister, said that a woman acting puthim in mind of a dog dancing. johnson repeated thephrase two hundred years later of women preaching. andhere, i said, opening a book about music, we have the verywords used again in this year of grace, 1928, of womenwho try to write music. 'of mlle. germaine tailleferre onecan only repeat dr johnson's dictum. "sir, a woman'scomposing is like a dog's walking on his hind legs. it is notdone well, but you are surprised to find it done at all."which sentence best states the idea that this excerpt to develop? a. women have faced negative attitudes in some areas, but otherareas have always been open to them. b. women have always faced negative attitudes in jobs that weretraditionally dominated by men. c. women had faced negative attitudes in shakespeare's time, but inwoolf's time, these attitudes had improved.,d. women have always faced negative attitudes in music andpainting but not in literature or acting.
