Which of the following is a characteristic of batteries connected in series?
total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages
You can multiply the voltage or the current supplied by individual batteries by connecting them together either in series or in parallel. The characteristics of batteries connected in series are that total voltage equals the sum of the individual battery voltages, total current equals the average of the individual battery currents, the positive terminal of one battery is connected to the negative terminal of the next, and one connection is made between each adjacent battery.
To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. Which of the following is not a part of the FOIL method?
Odd
To multiply binomials, use the FOIL method. FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last and refers to the position of each term in the parentheses.
The wheel __________ is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly.
hub
The wheel hub is the mounting point for the wheel and tire assembly. The wheel hub can rotate while being held stable by the steering knuckle which applies the motion of the control arms to the wheels.
Which of the following does not filter air as part of the respiratory system?
epiglottis
After air enters through the nose, it passes through the nasal cavity which filters, moistens, and warms it. Further filtering takes place in the pharynx, which also helps protect against infection, and then in the trachea which is just past the epiglottis which prevents food from entering the airway.
If AD = 29 and BD = 22, AB = ?
The entire length of this line is represented by AD which is AB + BD:
AD = AB + BD
Solving for AB:AB = AD - BDWhat's the name of the low-voltage winding in the ignition coil?
primary coil winding
The ignition coil is a high-voltage transformer made up of two coils of wire. The primary coil winding is the low-voltage winding and has relatively few turns of heavy wire. The secondary coil winding is the high-voltage winding that surrounds the primary and is made up of thousands of turns of fine wire. Current flows from the battery through the primary coil winding which creates a changing magnetic field inside the secondary coil. This induces a very high-voltage current in the secondary coil which it feeds to the distributor.
The joule is a unit of measurement for:
energy
The joule is a unit of measurement for energy.
The measure of how much of the power put into a machine is turned into movement or force is called:
efficiency
The efficiency of a machine describes how much of the power put into the machine is turned into movement or force. A 100% efficient machine would turn all of the input power into output movement or force. However, no machine is 100% efficient due to friction, heat, wear and other imperfections that consume input power without delivering any output.
Which of the following is not a primary function of a vehicle's lubrication system?
increases fuel economy
The lubrication system lubricates engine components by putting an oil film between them to reduce friction and smooth engine operation, cools by absorbing heat from engine parts, seals the pistons and cylinders to contain combustion, cleans contaminants, and quiets engine noise.
What is the next number in this sequence: 1, 3, 7, 13, 21, __________ ?
The equation for this sequence is:
an = an-1 + 2(n - 1)
where n is the term's order in the sequence, an is the value of the term, and an-1 is the value of the term before an. This makes the next number:
a6 = a5 + 2(6 - 1)
a6 = 21 + 2(5)
a6 = 31
