Will increasing length and cross-sectional area increase the resistance of an object?

Physics
1 answer:
Klio2033 [76]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Increasing length increases resistance

increasing cross sectional area reduces the resistance

.

Explanation:

The formula for resistance of an object is

r = d \frac{l}{a}

where r is resistance, d is resistivity of the material, l is length of material and a is cross sectional area of the object. This equation shows us that resistance is directly proportional to length and inversely proportional to cross sectional area. Hence, increasing length increases resistance while increasing cross sectional area reduces the resistance.

If these 2 variables are varied to the same extent, the net effect can be zero on the resistance.

djyliett [7]

Answer:

<em>11.06m/s²</em>

Explanation:

According to Newtons second law of motion

\sm F_x = ma_x\\F_m - F_f = ma_x\\mgsin \theta - \mu R mgcos \theta = ma_x\\

Given

Mass m = 17kg

Fm = 208N

theta = 36 degrees

g = 9.8m/s²

a is the acceleration

Substitute

208 - 0.148(17)(9.8)cos 36 = 17a

208 - 24.6568cos36 = 17a

208 - 19.9478 = 17a

188.05 = 17a

a = 188.05/17

a = 11.06m/s²

<em>Hence the  the magnitude of the resulting acceleration is 11.06m/s²</em>

Oxygen is a diatomic gas. How many oxygen molecules are in 16 grams of oxygen?
Licemer1 [7]

1 mol of oxygen molecules = 2 * 16 = 32 grams.

x mol of oxygen = 16 grams

1/x = 32/16    Cross multiply

16 = 32x        Divide by 32

16/32 = x

x = 1/2 mol

1 mol of anything has 6.02 * 10^23 somethings (molecules in this case).

1/2 mol = 6.02 *10^23 / 2

1/2 mol = 3.01 * 10^23 molecules <<<< answer
