The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to:
outside air
The radiator is responsible for tranferring heat from the coolant to the outside air. Radiator hoses transfer coolant to and from the engine to the radiator and a radiator cap maintains pressure in the cooling system to increase the boiling point of the coolant mixture and thus allow it to absorb more heat.
What part of the food chain serves only as food for other organisms?
producers
Producers (autotrophs) serve as a food source for other organisms. Typical producers are plants that can make their own food through photosynthesis and certain bacteria that are capable of converting inorganic substances into food through chemosynthesis
212°F is how many °C?
100
The formula to convert from F° to C° is:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (F° - 32)\)
plugging in our values gives:
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (212 - 32)\)
\(C° = {5 \over 9} (180) = {{180 \times 5} \over 9}\)
\(C° = {900 \over 9}\)
\(C° = 100\)
Why does current in an electric circuit create heat?
heat is created when the current overcomes resistance in the wire
Current in an electric circuit creates heat when the current overcomes resistance in the wire.
Which of the following is not a prime number?
9
A prime number is an integer greater than 1 that has no factors other than 1 and itself. Examples of prime numbers include 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11.
In the heart, blood flows from the __________ ventricle to the lungs then back to the heart via the __________ atrium.
right, left
The two largest veins in the body, the venae cavae, pass blood to the right ventricle which pumps the blood to the lungs through the pulmonary artery. Blood picks up oxygen in the lungs and returns it to the left atrium via the pulmonary vein.
Which of the following is not a type of bridge?
block
The six basic bridge forms are beam, truss, arch, cantilever, cable, and suspension.
The dimensions of this trapezoid are a = 4, b = 8, c = 7, d = 4, and h = 2. What is the area?
The area of a trapezoid is one-half the sum of the lengths of the parallel sides multiplied by the height:
a = ½(b + d)(h)
a = ½(8 + 4)(2)
a = ½(12)(2)
a = ½(24) = \( \frac{24}{2} \)
a = 12
