Which of the following is not a function of the oil pan?
cools engine oil
The oil pan contains the engine oil reservoir of from four to six quarts of oil and feeds the oil pump through the oil pickup tube. An oil strainer floats at the top of the oil in the oil pan and screens debris from the oil before feeding it to the oil pump.
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. What is the formula for velocity?
\(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position. Rate is measured in time and position is measured in displacement so the formula for velocity becomes \(\vec{v} = { \vec{d} \over t } \)
In the pancreas, lipase converts fat to:
glycerol and fatty acids
The acids produced by the pancreas contain several enzymes that aid in digestion. Lipase converts fat to glycerol and fatty acids. Pancreatic amylase breaks down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars. Trypsin converts polypeptides (the building blocks of protein) into amino acids.
An electrically charged atom is a(n):
ion
A compound is a substance containing two or more different chemical elements bound together by a chemical bond. In ionic compounds, one atom borrows an electron from another atom resulting in two ions (electrically charged atoms) of opposite polarities that then become bonded electrostatically.
Connecting the 10 batteries in series multiplies their voltage while keeping their current the same yielding a 60V 5A configuration. Connecting the 10 batteries in parallel multiplies their current while keeping their voltage the same yielding a 6V 50A configuration. Using a series-parallel connection, 5 batteries can be connected in series and 5 can be connected in parallel resulting in a 30V 25A configuration.
Which of the following is not an advantage of using a ratchet with a larger point-sized socket?
larger point sizes allow easier alignment
A ratchet (or socket wrench) is a wrench that applies torque in only one direction with a handle that can be moved back and forth without losing contact with the fastener. A ratchet uses variable attachments called sockets which come in a variety of drive sizes based on the size of the opening that attaches to the ratchet. Sockets with the same drive size will vary in the shape (six-point, twelve-point) and size of the nut opening that attaches to the fastener being tightened or loosened. Smaller point sized sockets are stronger and can apply greater torque while larger point sizes allow easier alignment.
Collinear forces:
act along the same line of action
Collinear forces act along the same line of action, concurrent forces pass through a common point and coplanar forces act in a common plane.
