What type of load varies with time or affects a structure that experiences a high degree of movement?
dynamic load
A concentrated load acts on a relatively small area of a structure, a static uniformly distributed load doesn't create specific stress points or vary with time, a dynamic load varies with time or affects a structure that experiences a high degree of movement, an impact load is sudden and for a relatively short duration and a non-uniformly distributed load creates different stresses at different locations on a structure.
The spark plugs fire a few extra degrees before top dead center when the engine is running faster. In this case the engine's timing is:
advanced
Ignition timing defines the point in time at the end of the compression stroke that the spark plug fires. Measured in number of degrees before top dead center (BTDC), the exact point that the spark plugs initiate combustion varies depending on the speed of the engine. The timing is advanced (the spark plugs fire a few more degrees BTDC) when the engine is running faster and retarded when it's running slower.
Electromotive force is another name for:
voltage
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the __________ to help break down protein.
stomach
Food is mixed with gastric acid and pepsin in the stomach to help break down protein.
The volt is a unit of measurement for:
voltage
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.
If a = c = 4, b = d = 3, what is the area of this rectangle?
The area of a rectangle is equal to its length x width:
a = l x w
a = a x b
a = 4 x 3
a = 12
