Convert -20C° to F°.
-4
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
A right angle measures:
90°
A right angle measures 90 degrees and is the intersection of two perpendicular lines. In diagrams, a right angle is indicated by a small box completing a square with the perpendicular lines.
The valence shell of a semiconductor is how full of electrons?
half full
Semiconductors have valence shells that are exacly half full and can conduct electricity under some conditions but not others. This property makes them useful for the control of electrical current.
Elements that belong to the same period in the Periodic Table of the Elements have the same number of:
electron shells
The rows of the Periodic Table are called periods and contain elements that have the same number of electron shells ordered from lower to higher atomic number.
Which of the following describes the Earth's outer core?
liquid
The Earth's core is divided into the liquid outer core (1,430 miles or 2,300 km radius) and the solid inner core (745 miles or 1,200 km radius).
Which of the following is the name for a transmission that incorporates the differential in one package?
transaxle
A differential is designed to drive a pair of wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds. A transaxle is a transmission that incorporates the differential in one package. Most front-wheel drive cars use a transaxle while rear-wheel drive cars use a transmission and separate differential connected via a drive shaft. The differential is incorporated into the drive axle which splits engine power delivered by the drive shaft between the two drive wheels. All-wheel drive cars typically use a transaxle that includes an output shaft to the rear differential.
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
Poor balance could indicate an issue with which part of the nervous system?
cerebellum
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
