The hertz is a unit of measurement for:
frequency
The hertz is a unit of measurement for frequency.
Which of the following is not a common type of battery?
power-cycle
Direct current flows in only one direction in a circuit, from the negative terminal of the voltage source to the positive. A common source of direct current (DC) is a battery. The three most common types of batteries are dry cell (used in small devices like TV remotes), wet cell (used for cars), and deep-cycle (storage batteries used primarily for backup and emergency power).
What is 4a7 - 9a7?
To combine like terms, add or subtract the coefficients (the numbers that come before the variables) of terms that have the same variable raised to the same exponent.
4a7 - 9a7 = -5a7
Which of these materials is not a good conductor of electricity?
air
All conductors have resistance and the amount of resistance varies with the element. In general, metals make the best conductors of electricity and non-metals make the worst conductors of electricity.
What provides the power necessary to start a car?
battery
The battery supplies the power necessary to start the engine when the ignition switch is is turned on.
What is the circumference of a circle with a radius of 18?
The formula for circumference is circle diameter x π. Circle diameter is 2 x radius:
c = πd
c = π(2 * r)
c = π(2 * 18)
c = 36π
Which of the following represents how much two materials resist sliding across each other?
coefficient of friction
Coefficient of friction (μ) represents how much two materials resist sliding across each other. Smooth surfaces like ice have low coefficients of friction while rough surfaces like concrete have high μ.
