It is the action of friction that slows something moving through air. The larger the object, the more the air resistance acting on the object.

Using different types of thermometers, thermocouples, thermal resistances, pyrometers, etc.


Unit of electric resistance?

The unit of electric resistance is the ohm, represented by the symbol Ω. It measures the opposition that a material has to the flow of electric current through it. Smaller resistances allow for a larger current flow, while larger resistances restrict the current flow.


When a skydiver jumps out of an airplane there are two forces acting on her gravity and air resistance After falling for a few seconds the forces due to gravity and air resistance balance each other?

Your question is slightly confusing as you seem to have answered it yourself. A little extra though, the speed at which the skydiver is now travelling is called terminal velocity and it is the fastest an object can travel with only gravity + air resistance acting on it as forces. Due to differing air resistances everything has its own unique terminal velocity and it is possible to alter it, this is the principle behind a parachute.


A 3.0 lamp and a 6.0 lamp are connected in serieswhat is the total resistance of the combination?

In a series circuit, the total resistance is the sum of the individual resistances. So, the total resistance of the 3.0 lamp and 6.0 lamp connected in series would be 3.0 + 6.0 = 9.0 ohms.


How would you minimize the heating effect of a current in a circuit?

BY reducing the resistances of the circuit, By using Maximum transfer theorem and Joule's law. Copper wires are better conductors than, for instance, than aluminum wires. After insulation, I placed the circuit in water to keep it from overheating (big heat sink).

Are all resistances in series connections the same?

No, all resistances in series connections are not the same. Different value resistances can be series together. The results of the resistances in series are always the same, they are additive.

What happens to the brightness of the light bulbs in a series with a heater?

They dim as the total resistance of series of resistances is the sum of the resistances; and current = V/R.


Is air resistances is conservative force?

No, air resistance is a non-conservative force. It converts the kinetic energy of an object into thermal energy as the object moves through the air, resulting in a loss of mechanical energy. This process is irreversible and does not follow the principle of conservation of energy.

What are the series circuit rules?

current is constant in the series circuit. The resistances of the components add up and the potential differences is divided propotionally over the components depending on their resistances.
