Which of the following is the formula for power?
\(P = {w \over t}\)
Power is the rate at which work is performed or work per unit time: \(P = {w \over t}\) and is measured in watts (W).
When it comes to force, mass and acceleration have what kind of relationship?
linear
Newton's Second Law of Motion states that "The acceleration of an object as produced by a net force is directly proportional to the magnitude of the net force, in the same direction as the net force, and inversely proportional to the mass of the object." This Law describes the linear relationship between mass and acceleration when it comes to force and leads to the formula F = ma or force equals mass multiplied by rate of acceleration.
Which of these materials is not a good conductor of electricity?
air
All conductors have resistance and the amount of resistance varies with the element. In general, metals make the best conductors of electricity and non-metals make the worst conductors of electricity.
__________ are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.
suspension springs
Suspension springs are made with wide gap coils of rigid steel cable and both hold the vehicle chassis up off the ground and absorb energy from wheel movement making for a smoother ride.
Which of the following is not a part of the oil pump?
oil galleries
The oil pump is driven by the camshaft and is responsible for pumping oil through the oil galleries (passages) that run throughout the engine. It also contains the oil filter and a pressure relief valve which prevents excessive pressure from building up in the lubrication system.
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue that connect muscles to the skeleton are called:
tendons
Tough fibrous cords of connective tissue called tendons connect muscles to the skeleton while another type of connective tissue called ligaments connect bones to other bones at joints (elbow, knee, fingers, spinal column).
Which of the following statements about an 8-point saw is not true?
an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 12-point saw
Saw blades are described by the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make.
The science that deals with motion and the forces that produce motion is called which of the following?
mechanics
Mechanics deals with motion and the forces that produce motion.
Solve 3c + 2c = 9c - 9z + 8 for c in terms of z.
To solve this equation, isolate the variable for which you are solving (c) on one side of the equation and put everything else on the other side.
3c + 2z = 9c - 9z + 8
3c = 9c - 9z + 8 - 2z
3c - 9c = -9z + 8 - 2z
-6c = -11z + 8
c = \( \frac{-11z + 8}{-6} \)
c = \( \frac{-11z}{-6} \) + \( \frac{8}{-6} \)
c = 1\(\frac{5}{6}\)z - 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
