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.

If the engine receives 6.45 kJ of heat energy from the reservoir at 520 K in each cycle, how many joules per cycle does it rejec
Oxana [17]

Answer:

3.72 kJ

Explanation:

QH = 6.45 kJ

TH = 520 K

Tc = 300 K

Qc = ?

By use of Carnot's theorem

Qc / QH = Tc / TH

Qc / 6.45 = 300 / 520

Qc = 3.72 kJ

Coulomb's law is expressed mathematically as
nataly862011 [7]
Force between two charges  = 

     ( 1/4πε₀ ) · (Charge #1) · (Charge #2) / (Distance between them)²

  in the direction away from each other.

In other words, if the force is positive, the charges are repelling.
If the force is negative, the charges are attracting.

A trombone has a variable length. When a musician blows into the mouthpiece and causes air in the tube of the horn to vibrate, t
Lilit [14]

Answer:

The frequency increases.

Explanation:

When the Musician draws the slide in the length of the horn gets shorter, which causes a decrease in the wavelength. A decrease in the wave length results in an increase in frequency.

Note:

The diameter of the horn has an effect on frequency, so a wider horn is effectively a long horn - open end correction ( distance between the the antinode and the open end of a pipe).

Frequency also depends on how hard the musician blows the trombone. The musician can change the frequency with the lip pressure being applied.
