A joint created by soldering is:
weaker than a weld
A joint created by soldering is not as strong as a weld and not as strong as the original metal.
What is (z5)4?
To raise a term with an exponent to another exponent, retain the base and multiply the exponents:
(z5)4Which of the following is the formula for gravitational potential energy?
\(PE = mgh\)
Gravitational potential energy is energy by virtue of gravity. The higher an object is raised above a surface the greater the distance it must fall to reach that surface and the more velocity it will build as it falls. For gravitational potential energy, PE = mgh where m is mass (kilograms), h is height (meters), and g is acceleration due to gravity which is a constant (9.8 m/s2).
Which of the following would be used in eye glasses to correct nearsightedness?
concave lens
Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of __________ sides.
parallel
A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one set of parallel sides.
Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of resistance in this circuit if voltage is 40 volts and current is 2 amps.
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
Solved for resistance, R = \( \frac{V}{I} \) = \( \frac{40}{2} \) = 20 Ω
Find the average of the following numbers: 17, 13, 17, 13.
To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:
\( \frac{17 + 13 + 17 + 13}{4} \) = \( \frac{60}{4} \) = 15
Minerals, vitamins, and fiber are:
micronutrients
Minterals, vitamins, and fiber are micronutrients while proteins, carbohydrates, and fats are macronutrients.
The primary purpose of the muffler is to:
quiet exhaust
The muffler follows the catalytic converter and absorbs sound to help quiet load exhaust. It is followed by the exhaust pipe which is the final exit point for exhaust gas from the vehicle.
Which of the following receive signals from the powertrain control module (PCM) and carry out its instructions?
actuators
Actuators receive signals from the PCM and carry out adjustments needed based on the data the PCM received from the sensors.
