What is c5 x 4c7?
To multiply terms with exponents, the base of both exponents must be the same. In this case they are so multiply the coefficients and add the exponents:
c5 x 4c7
(1 x 4)c(5 + 7)
4c12
What is the area of a circle with a radius of 2?
The formula for area is πr2:
a = πr2
a = π(22)
a = 4π
As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air __________ the lighter warm air that it is replacing.
pushes under
A cold front is a warm-cold air boundary with the colder air replacing the warmer. As a cold front moves into an area, the heavier cool air pushes under the lighter warm air that it is replacing. The warm air becomes cooler as it rises and, if the rising air is humid enough, the water vapor it contains will condense into clouds and precipitation may fall.
Friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other is called:
static friction
Static friction is friction between two or more solid objects that are not moving relative to each other. An example is the friction that prevents a box on a sloped surface from sliding farther down the surface.
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.
Heat is always transferred from __________ to __________ environments.
warmer, cooler
Heat is always transferred from warmer to cooler environments and conduction is the simplest way this transfer can occur. It is accomplished through direct contact between materials and materials like metals that transfer heat efficiently are called conductors while those that conduct heat poorly, such as plastic, are called insulators.
This tool is a(n) __________.
chisel
A chisel has a long sharp edge and is used, often in conjunction with a hammer, for cutting. In woodworking, chisels are used to remove large sections of wood to create the initial shape of a design. In metalworking, chisels are used to remove waste metal when a smooth finish is not required.
