The rate of flow of electrons per unit time is which of the following?
current
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
What is \( \frac{28\sqrt{35}}{4\sqrt{5}} \)?
To divide terms with radicals, divide the coefficients and radicands separately:
\( \frac{28\sqrt{35}}{4\sqrt{5}} \)
\( \frac{28}{4} \) \( \sqrt{\frac{35}{5}} \)
7 \( \sqrt{7} \)
A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current to control general current flow. Where is the small amount of current applied?
base
The transistor is the foundation of modern electronic devices. It is made entirely from semiconductor material (making it a solid state device) and can serve many different functions in a circuit including acting as a switch, amplifier, or current regulator. A transistor works by allowing a small amount of current applied at the base to control general current flow from collector to emitter through the transistor.
If the length of AB equals the length of BD, point B __________ this line segment.
bisects
A line segment is a portion of a line with a measurable length. The midpoint of a line segment is the point exactly halfway between the endpoints. The midpoint bisects (cuts in half) the line segment.
The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?
a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions
Levels utlize a fluid-filled tube containing a bubble that is centered when the surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb) along the direction of the tube. While a standard level can measure along a single dimension, a bullseye level is circular and can indicate the levelness of a two dimensional plane.
Which of the following maintains pressure in the cooling system?
radiator cap
The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.
As part of digestion, the liver produces bile which breaks down:
fat
The liver produces bile which emulsifies (separates) fat.
