Answer:

Equal to change in momentum of larger mass.

Explanation:

We are given that

Two difference masses .

Force act on both masses for the same length of time.

We have to find the change in momentum of the smaller mass.

Let M and m are two masses

M>m

We know that

Change in momentum for large mass= $F\Delta t$

Change in momentum for small mass= $F\Delta t$

Because Force and length of time are same for both masses .

Hence, the change in momentum of smaller mass is equal to change in momentum of larger mass.

Two cylindrical resistors are made from the same material. The shorter one has length L, diameter D, and resistance R1. The long

nordsb [41]

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.
