Which of the following cylinder arrangement would be most common in an eight cylinder engine?
V-type
Cylinder number and arrangement depends on the purpose of the engine. Smaller (four and six cylinder) engines in front-wheel drive vehicles often use an inline design which orients cylinders vertically over the crankshaft and aligns them in a row. Other common orientations are a horizontal/opposed design which places cylinders flat facing each other with the crankshaft between them and a V-type design common in six and eight cylinder engines that features one cylinder head per block of cylinders oriented at a 60 to 90 degree angle to each other with the crankshaft at the bottom of the V.
This tool is a(n) __________.
chisel
A chisel has a long sharp edge and is used, often in conjunction with a hammer, for cutting. In woodworking, chisels are used to remove large sections of wood to create the initial shape of a design. In metalworking, chisels are used to remove waste metal when a smooth finish is not required.
__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.
vitamin D, calcium
Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.
In a series circuit, which of the following is the same across all branches of the circuit?
current
A series circuit has only one path for current to flow. In a series circuit, current (I) is the same throughout the circuit and is equal to the total voltage (V) applied to the circuit divided by the total resistance (R) of the loads in the circuit. The sum of the voltage drops across each resistor in the circuit will equal the total voltage applied to the circuit.
Ezra loaned Monica $1,100 at an annual interest rate of 7%. If no payments are made, what is the total amount owed at the end of the first year?
The yearly interest charged on this loan is the annual interest rate multiplied by the amount borrowed:
interest = annual interest rate x loan amount
i = (\( \frac{6}{100} \)) x $1,100
i = 0.07 x $1,100
No payments were made so the total amount due is the original amount + the accumulated interest:
total = $1,100 + $77
The dimensions of this cube are height (h) = 7, length (l) = 7, and width (w) = 7. What is the surface area?
The surface area of a cube is (2 x length x width) + (2 x width x height) + (2 x length x height):
sa = 2lw + 2wh + 2lh
sa = (2 x 7 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 7) + (2 x 7 x 7)
sa = (98) + (98) + (98)
sa = 294
Which of the following statements about an 8-point saw is not true?
an 8-point saw makes a rougher cut than a 12-point saw
Saw blades are described by the number of teeth per inch (TPI). The higher the TPI of a saw the finer the cut it will make.
