adjective rɪˈzɪstɪvrəˈzistiv
technical 1Able to withstand the action or effect of something.
Example sentencesExamples
- Part of the difficulty comes in knowing how many, how long, where, and how deep the anchors should be to provide stability to the whole wall, as well as how to fasten this to the wall and spread its resistive force across the face.
- So I selected a more resistive gear and swung into a steady rhythm.
- Traditionally, the resistive force established for such a test is determined from total body mass for a friction loaded Monark cycle ergometer ie 75 g.kg-1.
- 1.1Physics Of or concerning electrical resistance.
Example sentencesExamples

- The present invention overcomes the difficulties found in the background art by providing a direct low resistive contact between devices on a semiconductor chip without excessive current leakage.
- The equivalent electrical circuit consists of resistive and capacitance elements.
- A strong, alternating current heats a resistive filament, causing it to emit electrons.
- Capacitive, piezo resistive, or piezoelectric sensors pick up these motion-triggered vibrations.
