You would measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit with a(n):
ohmmeter
Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). An ohmmeter is used to measure the amount of resistance at a certain point in a circuit.
Water has a refractive index of 1.33. Which of the following is true?
light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water
The speed of light varies based on the material that the waves are passing through. The refractive index of a material indicates how easily light travels through it compared to how easily light travels through a vacuum. For example, the refractive index of water is 1.33, meaning that light travels 1.33 times faster in a vacuum than it does in water.
According to Boyle's law, for a fixed amount of gas kept at a fixed temperature, which of the following are inversely proportional?
pressure, volume
Boyle's law states that "for a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional".
You are using a hacksaw to cut a Class 8 bolt. What is the most appropriate TPI for your saw blade?
18 TPI
A Class 8 bolt is made of very hard metal and larger TPI saw blades are most appropriate for very hard metals.
The __________ nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.
autonomic
Part of the peripheral nervous system, the autonomic nervous system regulates involuntary activity in the heart, stomach, and intestines.
As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:
fat
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
Solve for y:
-5y - 3 = \( \frac{y}{-3} \)
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
-5y - 3 = \( \frac{y}{-3} \)
-3 x (-5y - 3) = y
(-3 x -5y) + (-3 x -3) = y
15y + 9 = y
15y + 9 - y = 0
15y - y = -9
14y = -9
y = \( \frac{-9}{14} \)
y = -\(\frac{9}{14}\)
The valence shell of a semiconductor is how full of electrons?
half full
Semiconductors have valence shells that are exacly half full and can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. This property makes them useful for the control of electrical current.
