Answer:

the resistance of the longer one is twice as big as the resistance of the shorter one.

Explanation:

Given that :

For the shorter cylindrical resistor

Length = L

Diameter = D

Resistance = R1

For the longer cylindrical resistor

Length = 8L

Diameter = 4D

Resistance = R2

So;

We all know that the resistance of a given material can be determined by using the formula :

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{A}

where;

A = πr²

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}

For the shorter cylindrical resistor ; we have:

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}

since 2 r = D

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi (\frac{2}{2 \ r}) ^2}

R = \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D   ^2}

For the longer cylindrical resistor ; we have:

R = \dfrac{\rho L }{\pi r ^2}

since 2 r = D

R = \dfrac{ \rho (8 ) L }{\pi (\frac{2}{2 \ r}) ^2}

R = \dfrac{32\rho L }{\pi \ (4 D)   ^2}

R = \dfrac{2\rho L }{\pi \ (D)   ^2}

Sp;we can equate the shorter cylindrical resistor to the longer cylindrical resistor as shown below :

\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} = \dfrac{ \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D   ^2}}{ \dfrac{2\rho L }{\pi \ (D)   ^2}}

\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} ={ \dfrac{ 4 \rho L }{\pi \ D   ^2}}* { \dfrac  {\pi \ (D)   ^2} {2\rho L}}

\dfrac{R_s}{R_L} =2

{R_s}=2{R_L}

Thus; the resistance of the longer one is twice as big as the resistance of the shorter one.

Complete Question

Suppose you hit a steel nail with a 0.500-kg hammer, initially moving at 15.0 m/s and brought to rest in 2.80 mm. How much is the nail compressed if it is 2.50 mm in diameter and 6.00-cm long.What Average force is excreted on the Nail

Answer:

F=2*10^{4}N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Mass m=0.500kg

Initial Velocity V=15.0m/s

Distance x=2.80mm=>0.00280m

Diameter d=2.50mm=>0.00250m

Length l=6.00cm=>0.6m

Generally the equation for Force is mathematically given by

 F=\frac{mv^2}{2d}

 F=\frac{0.500*15^2}{2.80*10^{-3}}

 F=2*10^{4}N

Why do the passengers in high-altitude jet planes feel the sensation of weight while passengers in an orbiting space vehicle, su
kykrilka [37]

Passengers in an aircraft are subject to the Normal and Gravity Force acting on them at a low 'orbit', so tiny that it can be many times compared to the same surface of the earth when speaking in general terms.

In a high orbit space vehicle or in the same space, said force decreases considerably or simply disappears, generating the sensation of weightlessness.

Remember that the Force of Gravity is given under the principle

F_g = \frac{GMm}{r^2}

Where,

G = Gravitational Universal constant

M = Mass of the planet

m = mass of the object

r = Distance from center of the planet

When the radius grows considerably the gravitational force begins to decrease.

A proton moving at 8.00 106 m/s through a magnetic field of magnitude 1.72 T experiences a magnetic force of magnitude 7.20 10-1
gladu [14]

Answer:

19.1 deg

Explanation:

v = speed of the proton = 8 x 10⁶ m/s

B = magnitude of the magnetic field = 1.72 T

q = magnitude of charge on the proton = 1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ C

F = magnitude of magnetic force on the proton = 7.20 x 10⁻¹³ N

θ = Angle between proton's velocity and magnetic field

magnitude of magnetic force on the proton is given as

F = q v B Sinθ

7.20 x 10⁻¹³ = (1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹) (8 x 10⁶) (1.72) Sinθ

Sinθ = 0.327

θ = 19.1 deg
