PHYSICS CIRCUIT QUESTION PLEASE HELP!! 20 Points!

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.

Astronauts brought back 500 lb of rock samples from the moon. how many kilograms did they bring back? 1 kg = 2.20 lb 227 kg 227
Aleksandr [31]

Astronauts brought back 227kg of rock samples from the moon.

<h3>Who is an astronaut?</h3>

A person who has been trained, outfitted, and sent into space by a human spaceflight program to serve as a commander or crew member is known as an astronaut (from the Ancient Greek words (astron), meaning "star," and (nautes), meaning "sailor"). The word is occasionally used to refer to anyone who flies into space, including scientists, politicians, journalists, and tourists, despite the fact that it is typically only designated for professional space travelers.

600 astronauts have made space flights since 1961. Up until 2002, only governments—either the military or civilian space agencies—sponsored and educated astronauts. A new class of astronaut was introduced in 2004 with the suborbital flight of the privately funded SpaceShipOne: the commercial astronaut.

Explanation:

1kg=2.20lb

500lb=(1/2.20*500)kg

500lb=227kg

A charge if 2 nC is placed 10cm to the right of a conducting sphere with a diameter of 2 cm. A charge of 5 nC is placed 10 nC to
SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The charge at the center of the conducting sphere is zero.

Explanation:

A principle of conductor materials is that the electric field inside a conductor in electrostatic state is always zero. The gauss law says that the flux of a electric field in a closed surface is proportional to the charge enclosed by the surface. Then if the Electric field inside of a conductor is zero, imperatively the charge anywhere inside the conductor is zero too, so the charge at the center of the sphere is zero.
