While taking photographs in Death Valley on a day when the temperature is 52.0°C, Bill Hiker finds that a certain voltage applied to a copper wire produces a current of 1.000 A. Bill then travels to Antarctica and applies the same voltage to the same wire. What current does he register there if the temperature is -88.0°C? Assume no change occurs in the wire's shape and size.

You heard a story that a person who fell from the sixth floor of a building was able to survive. The individual caught the wire of a copper electronic line. He wasn't electrocuted, although being in contact with an exposed live wire. The wire was able to reduce his speed before finally hitting the ground. Create a scientific explanation if such an event is possible or not.
