-- With two resistors in parallel, the total effective resistance is
the reciprocal of  (1/R₁ + 1/R₂).

1/R₁ + 1/R₂  = 1/15 + 1/40

= 8/120 + 3/120

= 11/120

So the total effective resistance is 120/11 = 10.9 ohms .

Current = (voltage) / (resistance)

= 12 / (120/11)

= (12 · 11) / 120

= 132/120  =  1.1 Amperes

How come in free fall you feel weightless even though gravity is pulling down on you?
AysviL [449]
Feeling of Weight.

When walking, you feel the weight on your feet, therefore, your brain automatically refers to it as a source of weight.

In the air there is no platform to land on, therefore the brain does not have the conscience to register you getting pulled down.

A 4.50-kg wheel that is 34.5 cm in diametet rotates through an angle of 13.8 rad as it slows down uniformly from 22.0 rad/s to 1
lisabon 2012 [21]

Answer:

\alpha =10.93radian/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given given the final angular velocity \omega _{final}=13.5rad/sec

And \omega _{initial}=22rad/sec

Displacement \Theta =13.8radian

We have to find the angular acceleration \alpha

According to law of motion \omega _{final}^2=\omega _{initial}^2+2\alpha \Theta

So 13.5^2=22^2+2\times \alpha \times 13.8

\alpha =-10.93radian/sec^2

In question we have tell about magnitude only so \alpha =10.93radian/sec^2

Describe a situation in which an object's speed is constant but its velocity is changing.
Olegator [25]
1) If the object changes directions with the same speed, it will be changing its velocity, because velocity is a vector, which depends on both magnitude and direction. Speed is just magnitude regardless of direction.

2) Rotational motion.
