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
__________ is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
anemia
Anemia, which may cause weakness, dizziness, and headaches is caused by a lack of iron in the diet.
Which of the following will increase the mechanical advantage of this inclined plane?
lengthen the ramp
The mechanical advantage (MA) of an inclined plane is the effort distance divided by the resistance distance. In order to increase mechanical advantage, this ratio must increase which means making the effort distance longer and this can be accomplished by lengthening the length of the ramp.
Which of the following is true about species groups?
a community is made up of a group of populations
A population is a group of organisms of the same species who live in the same area at the same time. A community is a group of populations living and interacting with each other in an area.
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.
The steering wheel of a car is an example of which type of simple machine?
wheel and axle
A wheel and axle uses two different diameter wheels mounted to a connecting axle. Force is applied to the larger wheel and large movements of this wheel result in small movements in the smaller wheel. Because a larger movement distance is being translated to a smaller distance, force is increased with a mechanical advantage equal to the ratio of the diameters of the wheels. An example of a wheel and axle is the steering wheel of a car.
When cutting hard metals with a hacksaw you should choose a blade with __________ teeth per inch (TPI).
high
Blades with more and smaller teeth (high TPI) cut harder metals more effectively while blades with fewer and larger teeth (low TPI) cut softer metals more effectively.
Mechanical advantage is resistance force divided by effort force:
MA = \( \frac{F_r}{F_e} \) = \( \frac{350 lbs.}{70 lbs.} \) = 5
\({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\) defines which of the following?
distributive property for division
The distributive property for division helps in solving expressions like \({b + c \over a}\). It specifies that the result of dividing a fraction with multiple terms in the numerator and one term in the denominator can be obtained by dividing each term individually and then totaling the results: \({b + c \over a} = {b \over a} + {c \over a}\). For example, \({a^3 + 6a^2 \over a^2} = {a^3 \over a^2} + {6a^2 \over a^2} = a + 6\).
