Will increasing length and cross-sectional area increase the resistance of an object?
1 answer:
Answer:
Increasing length increases resistance
increasing cross sectional area reduces the resistance
.
Explanation:
The formula for resistance of an object is
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.

Explanation:
The internal heat sources for Jupiter and Saturn derive from primordial heat resulting from the initial gravitational contraction of each planet. Jupiter also generates heat by slow contraction, which liberates substantial gravitational energy. A significant part of Saturn’s heat comes from the release of gravitational energy from helium separating from the lighter hydrogen and sinking to its core. What one considers to be a star is a matter of definition, as we discuss in more detail in the chapter on The Birth of Stars and the Discovery of Planets outside the Solar System. While both Jupiter and Saturn generate much of their energy internally, they are not large enough (by a significant factor) to support nuclear reactions in their interiors, and so are not considered to be stars.
The initial velocity of the sled will be 7.34 m/sec. V is the initial velocity of the sled.
<h3>What is the law of conservation of momentum?</h3>According to the law of conservation of momentum, the momentum of the body before the collision is always equal to the momentum of the body after the collision.
The given data in the problem is;
(m₁) mass of child = 38 kg
(u₁) is the initial velocity child = 2.2 m/s
(m₂) is the mass of sled = 68 kg
(u₂) is the initial velocity of sled = ?
(v) is the velocity after collision = 5.5 m/s
According to the law of conservation of momentum;
Momentum before collision =Momentum after collision
Hence,the initial velocity of the sled will be 7.34 m/sec.
