Convert 0.0006095 to scientific notation.
A number in scientific notation has the format 0.000 x 10exponent. To convert to scientific notation, move the decimal point to the right or the left until the number is a decimal between 1 and 10. The exponent of the 10 is the number of places you moved the decimal point and is positive if you moved the decimal point to the left and negative if you moved it to the right:
0.0006095 in scientific notation is 6.095 x 10-4
The science that deals with motion and the forces that produce motion is called which of the following?
mechanics
Mechanics deals with motion and the forces that produce motion.
Which of the following is not a function of antifreeze?
lubricates the cooling system
Modern car engines are cooled by liquid which circulates through the engine block and cylinder heads absorbing excess heat. This liquid is made up of half water and half antifreeze (commonly, ethylene glycol) which both keeps the water from freezing at low temperatures and raises its boiling point making heat transfer more efficient.
__________ results from oil buildup in the combustion chamber.
preignition
Preignition results from the buildup of fuel deposits and/or oil in the combustion chamber. These deposits increase chamber pressure and reduce heat tranfer to the coolant. The trapped heat then raises the temperature of the air-fuel mix to the point that it combusts before ignition.
Leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains are good sources of:
fiber
Fiber provides bulk to help the large intestine carry away waste. Good sources of fiber are leafy vegetables, beans, potatoes, fruits, and whole grains.
