Explanation:

Use Ohm's law.

V = IR

12 V = I (1200 Ω)

I = 0.01 A

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.

Is the earth's gravitational force on the sun larger than, smaller than, or equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth?

Leona [35]

Answer:

The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).

In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
