Resistance is opposition to which of the following?
current
Resistance is opposition to the flow of current and is measured in ohms (Ω). One ohm is defined as the amount of resistance that will allow one ampere of current to flow if one volt of voltage is applied. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.
Which of the following saws would you use if you're cutting wood across the grain?
crosscut saw
Wood saws are categorized by their teeth shape and the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make. Crosscut saws utilize knife-shaped teeth that cut across the grain of the wood while rip saws cut with the grain using chisel-shaped teeth that rip the wood cells apart as the cut is made. The kerf (slot) made by by a crosscut saw is much smoother than that made by a rip saw but a rip saw cuts much faster. Coping saws are a type of bow saw used to make detailed often curving cuts using replaceable blades with fine small teeth.
Blood is circulated throughout the body via:
arterioles
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one __________ to another.
generation
Heredity is the passing on of physical or mental characteristics genetically from one generation to another. Heredity is made possible via large strings of chromosomes which carry information encoded in genes.
If side x = 12cm, side y = 9cm, and side z = 9cm what is the perimeter of this triangle?
The perimeter of a triangle is the sum of the lengths of its sides:
p = x + y + z
p = 12cm + 9cm + 9cm = 30cm
What does the timing belt do?
synchronizes the camshaft and the crankshaft
Maintaining proper synchronization between the rotation of the camshaft and the rotation of the crankshaft is critical to ensure that the engine's valves open and close at the proper times during each cylinder's intake and exhaust strokes.
Which of the following states of matter exists at the lowest temperature?
solid
Solids exist at a lower temperature than liquids which exist at a lower temperature than gases.
