-- 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

Ilya [14]

Answer:

There is an inward force acting on the can

Explanation:

This inward force is known as Centripetal force and it is responsible for making the can whirl on the end of a string in circle and it is also directed towards the center around which the can is moving.

Why might scientists conduct multiple trial experiments rather than rely on a single trial?
Delvig [45]

Scientists conduct multiple trial experiments because one test might not be as reliable as multiple trials. Another reason they conduct multiple trials is because the scientific method says to conduct multiple experimental tests.

Andru [333]

Explanation :

It is given that, a heavy box is in the back of a truck and the truck is accelerating to the right.

The description is shown in<em> figure 1</em>. Here, the forces that act on both box and the truck are the normal force, the frictional force and their weight mg.

The free body diagram is shown in <em>figure 2</em>. This shows the total forces            ( F = ma )acting on the truck. As a result, the truck will move in a forward direction.

Hence, this is the required explanation.
