Current tends to travel on the surface of the wire. As you decrease the cross-sectional area of a wire the resistance increases. That is why larger wires are rated for higher currents.

What is the relation between the velocity of a moving body and the resistance?

I suppose that the relation is directly proportional, because the more is the velocity, the more is the power wasted to keep the body moving, thus the resistance will be greater. JW70

How a transistor transfers resistance?

The input current of transistor is approximately equal to output current .Suppose in common base configuration the emmiter current is approximately equal to collector current if neglect the very small value of bae current.Even though the input resistance is not equal to output resistance,the currents are same ,so we can reliase that the transistor transfers resistance to get same currents at both ends.
