This is caused by what can be called "stick-slip". Once the initial friction is overcome it is easier to keep an object in constant motion than it was to get it to move from standstill. Mostly this involves the Van de Waals forces (electrostatic forces) that arise when objects are very close to each other.
When you push something heavy, the resistance you feel decreases as the object starts moving because static friction transitions to kinetic friction. Static friction is the force that keeps an object at rest, while kinetic friction is the force that opposes motion once the object starts moving. As the object overcomes static friction and transitions to kinetic friction, the resistance you feel decreases.
If conductance decreases, the current flowing through the circuit will also decrease. Conductance is the inverse of resistance, so decreasing conductance means increasing resistance, which impedes the flow of current.
As the diameter of a wire increases, its resistance decreases. This is because there is more cross-sectional area available for the flow of electrons, resulting in less opposition to the flow of current and thus lower resistance.
If a filament is replaced by a thicker wire, the resistance of the circuit will decrease. Thicker wires have lower resistance because they offer less resistance to the flow of electric current compared to thinner wires of the same material and length.
the resistance can never increase or decrease....... (you can't open the resistor and take out the something and make the resistance increase or decrease)AnswerSince resistance is directly proportional to the length of a conductor, increasing the length of a wire will increase its resistance. For example, if you double its length, you will double its resistance.
it increases
its resistence considerably decreases

Flow of current decreases proportionately.
current decreases and resistance increases
if the resistance is decreased and the current stays the same, then the power decreases.
If resistance is increased, current decreases. Ohm's Law: current equals voltage divided by resistance.

LDRs work when the light intensity increases, the resistance decreases. If this happens, I think the amount of current is too little so triggers something which turns the street lamps on. I'm not quite sure if this is what happens.
That will depend on the temperature coefficient of resistance of the device, which could be positive (i.e. resistance increases with increasing temperature), negative (i.e. resistance decreases with increasing temperature), or zero (i.e. resistance is unaffected by temperature changes).
the thermistors respond negatively to the temperature and their resistance decreases with the increase in temperature. Since the resistance of thermistors is dependent on the temperature, they can be connected in the electrical circuit to measure the temperature of the body.
