You've managed somehow to post the mirror image of the circuit diagram, including the numbers and values of the resistors. I'm curious to know how you did that.

The three resistors at the left end of the diagram are 3Ω , 2Ω , and 1Ω all in series. They behave like a single resistor of (3+2+1) = 6Ω .

That 6Ω resistor is in parallel with the 2Ω drawn vertically in the middle of the diagram. That combination acts like a single resistor of 1.5Ω in that position.

Finally, we have that 1.5Ω resistor in series with 1Ω and 4Ω . That series combination behaves like a single resistor of <em>6.5Ω</em> across the battery V.

How does air pressure change with altitude?

charle [14.2K]

Air pressure changes with altitude because of issues related to gravity. Molecules have more weight the closer they are to the Earth and more of them move to lower elevations as a result; this causes increased pressure because there are more molecules in number and proximity. Conversely, air at higher elevations has less weight, but also forces pressure on those layers below it, resulting in the molecules closer to the Earth supporting more weight, increasing the pressure

A crowbar 2727 in. long is pivoted 66 in. from the end. What force must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600600 lb

NikAS [45]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to equilibrium, for this specific case, through the sum of torques.

$\sum \tau = F*d$

If the distance in which the 600lb are applied is 6in, we will have to add the unknown Force sum, at a distance of 27in - 6in will be equivalent to that required to move the object. So,

$F*(27-6)= 6*600$

$F = \frac{6*600}{21}$

$F= 171.42 lb$

So, Force that must be applied at the long end in order to lift a 600lb object to the short end is 171.42lb

How microwave tower work?

Airida [17]

Answer:

Microwave towers are telecommunications towers that use microwaves to transmit telephone and television signals to other microwave towers.

Explanation:

This technology replaced existing transmission wires, but it is almost entirely obsolete as of 2015 due to the advent of fiber optics and other modern methods of telecommunication.

What type of simple machine can pinball machine flippers can be explained?

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Your pinball machine was built using two kinds of simple machines: a lever and an inclined plane. The lever shot the marble to the top of the box with lots of force. The inclined planes made the marble wind its way down to the bottom.

How much charge can be added to each of the plates before a spark jumps between the two plates? For such flat electrodes, assume

Svetach [21]

Answer:

$9.56\cdot 10^{-7} C$

Explanation:

A parallel-plate capacitors consist of two parallel plates charged with opposite charge.

Since the distance between the plates (1 cm) is very small compared to the side of the plates (19 cm), we can consider these two plates as two infinite sheets of charge.

The electric field between two infinite sheets with opposite charge is:

$E=\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}$
