An arc-welder creates heat using:

68% Answer Correctly

propane

high voltage electricity

oxyacetylene

natural gas


Solution

Welding is a high-temperature process that involves melting the base metals in the objects to be joined to fuse them together. A filler metal is used to provide additional material to make up a joint that, depending on the weld type, can be stronger than the base materials alone. Oxyacetylene welding is a welding process that uses a torch fueled with oxygen and acetylene gases. Electric-arc welding utlizes electric current in a safer welding process (it doesn't involve burning explosive gases) that enables a wide variety of specialized applications like stick, MIG (metal inert gas), and TIG (tungsten inert gas) welding.

The primary difference between a standard level and a bullseye level is which of the following?

55% Answer Correctly

a bullseye level has only one bubble to center

a bullseye level can measure across two dimensions

a standard level can measure across two dimensions

a standard level has only one bubble to center


Solution

Levels utlize a fluid-filled tube containing a bubble that is centered when the surface is horizontal (level) or vertical (plumb) along the direction of the tube. While a standard level can measure along a single dimension, a bullseye level is circular and can indicate the levelness of a two dimensional plane.
