This circuit diagram represents a(n):
series circuit
A series circuit has only one path for current to flow. In a series circuit, current (I) is the same throughout the circuit and is equal to the total voltage (V) applied to the circuit divided by the total resistance (R) of the loads in the circuit. The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in the circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.
Order the following types of angle from least number of degrees to most number of degrees.
acute, right, obtuse
An acute angle measures less than 90°, a right angle measures 90°, and an obtuse angle measures more than 90°.
Find the average of the following numbers: 17, 13, 17, 13.
To find the average of these 4 numbers add them together then divide by 4:
\( \frac{17 + 13 + 17 + 13}{4} \) = \( \frac{60}{4} \) = 15
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.
The wheel __________ is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly.
hub
The wheel hub is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly. The wheel hub can rotate while being held stable by the steering knuckle which applies the motion of the control arms to the wheels.
If the radius of the axle is 5 and the radius of the wheel is 8, what is the mechanical advantage of this wheel and axle configuration?
The mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is the input radius divided by the output radius:
MA = \( \frac{r_i}{r_o} \)
In this case, the input radius (where the effort force is being applied) is 5 and the output radius (where the resistance is being applied) is 8 for a mechanical advantage of \( \frac{5}{8} \) = 0.63
In the foood chain, producers serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through:
chemosynthesis
Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
