what is the total resistance of 2 resistors each with resistance 2 ohms in parallel?

1/R_t= 1/R₁ + 1/R₂ The equation for resistors in parrallel. If R₁and R₂are both 2 ohms then 1/R_t = 1/2 +1/2 = 1 so R_t = 1 ohm. Note: Don't forget the units at the end.

Describe the forces acting on a skydiver jumping out of a plane and explain why opening a parachute reduces the velocity

A car travelling at 14 m/s has to make an emergency stop so applies the brakes and it takes 1.5s to become stationary. What distance has the van travelled in that time?

What is the difference between a series circuit and a parallel circuit?

If a 60kg girl jumps out of a helicoptor, draw diagrams to show the forces (with values) acting on her when a) she is in freefall, b) she is accelerating at half of g (g = 10 m/s^2), c) she is travelling at a constant speed?
