What's the name of the high-voltage winding in the ignition coil?
secondary coil winding
The ignition coil is a high-voltage transformer made up of two coils of wire. The primary coil winding is the low-voltage winding and has relatively few turns of heavy wire. The secondary coil winding is the high-voltage winding that surrounds the primary and is made up of thousands of turns of fine wire. Current flows from the battery through the primary coil winding which creates a changing magnetic field inside the secondary coil. This induces a very high-voltage current in the secondary coil which it feeds to the distributor.
Which of the following expressions contains exactly two terms?
binomial
A monomial contains one term, a binomial contains two terms, and a polynomial contains more than two terms.
What is \( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{8} \)?
To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:
\( \frac{4}{6} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{8} \) = \( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{4} \)
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{4}{6} \) x \( \frac{8}{4} \) = \( \frac{4 x 8}{6 x 4} \) = \( \frac{32}{24} \) = 1\(\frac{1}{3}\)
The __________ is an initial shallow saw cut made as a guide to prevent the saw from slipping sideways on subsequent more powerful cuts.
kerf
When you start sawing by creating a kerf it will help prevent the saw from slipping sideways when you begin the power strokes that do most of the cutting.
The intake ports on the cylinder heads is fed outside air via the:
intake manifold
The intake manifold distributes outside air to the intake ports on the cylinder heads. The intake air filter removes any airborne contaminants before the air enters the engine.
A coordinate grid is composed of which of the following?
all of these
The coordinate grid is composed of a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis. The center of the grid, where the x-axis and y-axis meet, is called the origin.
What is the large casing that contains the cylinders and many of the internal components of the engine?
engine block
The engine (or cylinder) block is the large casing that contains the cylinders and many of the internal components of the engine.
