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
An object's resistance to changes in direction is known as:
inertia
The more mass a substance has the more force is required to move it or to change its direction. This resistance to changes in direction is known as inertia.
The primary difference between a claw and a ball-peen hammer is which of the following?
their non-striking end
The most common striking tool is the hammer and the most common variety of hammer is the claw hammer. The claw hammer has two ends, one to drive nails and one to remove nails. Ball-peen hammers replace the claw with a rounded end that's used to round off the edges of metal pins and make gaskets.
What is \( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{5} \)?
To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:
\( \frac{1}{8} \) x \( \frac{1}{5} \) = \( \frac{1 x 1}{8 x 5} \) = \( \frac{1}{40} \) = \(\frac{1}{40}\)
Engine oil viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W indicating viscosity at __________ ℉ and the XX indicating viscosity at __________ ℃.
0, 100
The primary component of the lubrication system is engine oil. Engines require oil blends with different thickness (viscosity) and additives depending on their operating conditions. Viscosity is rated using the format XW-XX with the number preceding the W (winter) rating the oil’s viscosity at 0 ℉ (-17.8 ℃) and the XX indicating viscosity at 100 ℃.
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.
Which of the following is related to the Cambrian Explosion?
fossil record
The Cambrian period is one of the most significant geological time periods. Lasting about 53 million years, it marked a dramatic burst of changes in life on Earth known as the Cambrian Explosion. It is from this period that the majority of the history of life on Earth, as documented by fossils, is found. Called the fossil record, the layering of these mineralized imprints of organisms preserved in sedementary rock have allowed geologists to build a historical record of plant and animal life on Earth.
