Which of the following does not represent the freezing point of water?
0°F
The Fahrenheit scale fixes the freezing point of water at 32°F, the Celsuis scale at 0°C, and the Kelvin scale at 273K.
Use Ohm's Law to calculate the value of voltage in this circuit if resistance is 10 Ω and current is 2.5 amps.
Ohm's law specifies the relationship between voltage (V), current (I), and resistance (R) in an electrical circuit: V = IR.
V = \( I \times R \) = \( 2.5 \times 10 \) = 25 V
The gear ratio (Vr) of a gear train is the product of the gear ratios between the pairs of meshed gears. Let N represent the number of teeth for each gear:
Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) \( \frac{N_2}{N_3} \) \( \frac{N_3}{N_4} \) ... \( \frac{N_n}{N_{n+1}} \)
In this problem, we have only two gears so the equation becomes:Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) = \( \frac{32}{4} \) = 8
Which of the following is not an integer?
\({1 \over 2}\)
An integer is any whole number, including zero. An integer can be either positive or negative. Examples include -77, -1, 0, 55, 119.
Earth's history is divided into time periods, which of these is the shortest time period?
age
The Earth is approximately 4.6 billion years old and its history is divided into time periods based on the events that took place and the forms of life that were dominant during those periods. The largest graduation of time is the eon and each eon is subdivided into eras, eras into periods, periods into epochs, and epochs into ages.
Universal donor blood can be given to a person with any blood type. Which blood type is the universal donor?
O-negative
Blood transfer is limited by the type and Rh factor of the blood. Someone who has Rh-factor negative blood cannot receive blood with a positive type but a person with Rh-factor positive type blood can receive Rh-negative blood. Type O negative blood is the universal donor because it can be given to a person with any blood type. Type AB positive is the universal recipient meaning someone with this blood type can receive any other type of blood.
