Answer:

Question not completed, so I analysed the question first

Tony drove to the mountains last weekend. there was heavy traffic on the way there, and the trip took 6 hours. when tony drove home, there was no traffic and the trip only took 4 hours. if his average rate was 22 miles per hour faster on the trip home, how far away does tony live from the mountains?

Explanation:

Let use variables to solve the problems

Let the first trip to be mountain take x hours

Let the trip back home take y hours

Let the speed to while going to the mountain be a miles/hour

Then, while going home it was b miles/hour faster than while going to the mountain.

Then, speed going home is (a+b)miles / hour

The formula for speed is given as

Speed=distance/time

The constant through out the journey is distance, the two journey has the same distance.

Then,

Distance =speed×time

For first journey going to the mountain

Distance = a×x=ax miles

For the second journey going home

Distance =y×(a+b)

Distance Mountain= distance home

ax=y(a+b)

Make a subject of the formula

ax=ya+yb

ax-ya=yb

a(x-y)=yb

a=yb/(x-y)

Therefore, distance from mountain is

Distance=speed ×time

Distance= a×x=ax

Now, applying the questions

So from the questions

x=6hours, y=4hours

Also, b=22miles/hour

Then,

a=yb/(x-y)

a=4×22/(6-4)

a=88/2

a=44miles/hour

Then, the house distance from the mountain is

Distance=ax

Distance =44×6

Distance =264miles

Answer:

480 miles.

Explanation:

Let, S = rate on his way to the mountains.

Assume, Sgoing x time going = Sreturning x time returning

= S × 12 hours = (S + 20mph) ×8 hours

= 12 × S = 8 × S + 160.

4 × S = 160

S = 40 miles/hour

The trip took 12 hours at 40 miles per hour, so distance was:

= 12 hours × 40 mph

= 480 miles.

PHYSICS CIRCUIT QUESTION PLEASE HELP!! 20 Points!
dimulka [17.4K]
This really calls for a blackboard and a hunk of chalk, but
I'm going to try and do without.

If you want to understand what's going on, then PLEASE
keep drawing visible as you go through this answer, either
on the paper or else on a separate screen.

The energy dissipated by the circuit is the energy delivered by
the battery.  We'd know what that is if we knew  I₁ .  Everything that
flows in this circuit has to go through  R₁ , so let's find  I₁  first.

-- R₃ and R₄ in series make 6Ω.
-- That 6Ω in parallel with R₂ makes 3Ω.
-- That 3Ω in series with R₁ makes 10Ω across the battery.
--  I₁ is  10volts/10Ω  =  1 Ampere.

-- R1:  1 ampere through 7Ω ... V₁ = I₁ · R₁ = 7 volts .

-- The battery is 10 volts. 
    7 of the 10 appear across R₁ .
   So the other 3 volts appear across all the business at the bottom.

-- R₂:  3 volts across it = V₂. 
           Current through it is  I₂ = V₂/R₂ = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Amp.

-- R3 + R4:  6Ω in the series combination
                     3 volts across it
                     Current through it is I = V₂/R = 3volts/6Ω = 1/2 Ampere

--  Remember that the current is the same at every point in
a series circuit.  I₃  and  I₄  must be the same 1/2 Ampere,
because there's no place in the branch where electrons can
be temporarily stored, no place for them to leak out, and no
supply of additional electrons.

-- R₃:  1/2 Ampere through it = I₃ .
           1/2 Ampere through 2Ω ... V₃ = I₃ · R₃ = 1 volt

-- R₄:  1/2 Ampere through it = I₄
           1/2 Ampere through 4Ω ... V₄ = I₄ · R₄ = 2 volts

Notice that  I₂  is 1/2 Amp, and (I₃ , I₄) is also 1/2 Amp.
So the sum of currents through the two horizontal branches is 1 Amp,
which exactly matches  I₁  coming down the side, just as it should.
That means that at the left side, at the point where R₁, R₂, and R₃ all
meet, the amount of current flowing into that point is the same as the
amount flowing out ... electrons are not piling up there.

Concerning energy, we could go through and calculate the energy
dissipated by each resistor and then addum up.  But why bother ?
The energy dissipated by the resistors has to come from the battery,
so we only need to calculate how much the battery is supplying, and
we'll have it.

The power supplied by the battery  = (voltage) · (current)

                                                         =  (10 volts) · (1 Amp) = 10 watts .

"Watt" means "joule per second".
The resistors are dissipating 10 joules per second,
and the joules are coming from the battery.

             (30 minutes) · (60 sec/minute)  =  1,800 seconds

             (10 joules/second) · (1,800 seconds)  =  18,000 joules  in 30 min

The power (joules per second) dissipated by each individual resistor is

                       P  =  V² / R
             or
                       P  =  I² · R ,

whichever one you prefer.  They're both true.

If you go through the 4 resistors, calculate each one, and addum up, you'll
come out with the same 10 watts / 18,000 joules total. 

They're not asking for that.  But if you did it and you actually got the same
numbers as the battery is supplying, that would be a really nice confirmation
that all of your voltages and currents are correct.

viewed from earth two stars form an angle of 76.04 degrees. StarA is 23.30 light years from earth star Bis 34.76 light years fro
kirill115 [55]
The observation point on Earth and the two stars form a triangle. The two sides of the triangle are 23.3 ly and 34.76 ly and their included angle is 76.04°. We can use the cos rule to find the third side, which is the distance between the two stars.
c² = a² + b² - 2abCos(C)
c² = (23.3)² + (34.76)² - 2(23.3)(34.76)Cos(76.04)
c = 36.88 light years.

Which wavelength of light is capable of penetrating the dust of a nebula?
ivann1987 [24]
When the dust is too thick to penetrate with visible light, such as the Nebula, Radio Waves are used to penetrate the dust. Longer radio waves can completely penetrate the thick cloud cover, allowing scientists to beam radar waves.
