Unmyelinated fibers conduct impulses more rapidly than myelinated fibers?

Other way, dude. Nerve fibers are just like electric wires. Just think of a Myelinated fiber as a wire with rubber on the outside, and unmyelinated with ought it. Electricity runs more efficiently through a wire that has rubber on it, and so do myelenated fibers, but with an added bonus, they are faster than their unmyelenated counterparts hope it helped!

Why does increasing the axon diameter also increase the speed of impulse conduction?
Larger diameter axons conduct impulses more rapidly than axons with a smaller diameter. Larger axons tend to be myelinated and conduct impulses rapidly. Myelin is a substance rich in lipid that forms an electrical insulation layer around the axon. This insulating myelin sheath allows impulses to be transmitted more rapidly then small diameter axons that are nonmyelinated.

Is magnesium shiny and does it conduct heat and electricity?
Magnesium would only be shiny in a freshly cut surface. It quickly oxidizes with a film of protective oxide rapidly forming. In this condition it would look grey. It does conduct both heat and electricity.
What is it called when small forces cause the amplitude of a wave to increase steadily?
If an oscillating object is subjected to small impulses of the same frequency as the object's natural frequency of oscillation, its amplitude will build up rapidly, depending on how much damping is present. This is caused resonance.
