Most households use electricity with a voltage of 110V.

General Science

The four planets closest to the Sun are called terrestrial. What does terrestrial mean?

the planets are Earth-like

The four planets closest to the Sun (Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars) are called terrestrial (Earth-like) planets because, like the Earth, they're solid with inner metal cores covered by rocky surfaces.

Word Knowledge

dreadful
Inspiring dismay or disgust.
Word Knowledge
Intricate most nearly means:
complicated
Having complex and interrelated parts.
Mechanical Comprehension
If you have a gear train with three gears, the first with 24 teeth, the second with 16 teeth, and the third with 4 teeth, what is its mechanical advantage?
6

The mechanical advantage of a gear train is its gear ratio. The gear ratio (Vr) 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 three gears so the equation becomes:

Vr = \( \frac{N_1}{N_2} \) \( \frac{N_2}{N_3} \) = \( \frac{24}{16} \) \( \frac{16}{4} \) = \( \frac{24}{4} \) = 6

Arithmetic Reasoning

The total water usage for a city is 50,000 gallons each day. Of that total, 32% is for personal use and 59% is for industrial use. How many more gallons of water each day is consumed for industrial use over personal use?

13,500

59% of the water consumption is industrial use and 32% is personal use so (59% - 32%) = 27% more water is used for industrial purposes. 50,000 gallons are consumed daily so industry consumes \( \frac{27}{100} \) x 50,000 gallons = 13,500 gallons.

Mechanical Comprehension
2.36 ft. If the green box weighs 55 lbs. and is 3 ft. from the fulcrum, how far from the fulcrum would a 70 lbs. weight need to be placed to balance the lever?
2.36 ft.

To balance this lever the torques on each side of the fulcrum must be equal. Torque is weight x distance from the fulcrum so the equation for equilibrium is:

Rada = Rbdb

where a represents the left side of the fulcrum and b the right, R is resistance (weight) and d is the distance from the fulcrum.

Solving for db, our missing value, and plugging in our variables yields:

db = \( \frac{R_ad_a}{R_b} \) = \( \frac{55 lbs. \times 3 ft.}{70 lbs.} \) = \( \frac{165 ft⋅lb}{70 lbs.} \) = 2.36 ft.

Word Knowledge
Jade placed the fragile vase out of reach of her rambunctious boys.
frail
Delicate.
Mechanical Comprehension

Two gears are connected and the larger gear drives the smaller gear. The speed of rotation will __________ and the torque will __________.

increase, decrease

Connected gears of different numbers of teeth are used together to change the rotational speed and torque of the input force. If the smaller gear drives the larger gear, the speed of rotation will be reduced and the torque will increase. If the larger gear drives the smaller gear, the speed of rotation will increase and the torque will be reduced.
