If angle a = 68° and angle b = 39° what is the length of angle c?
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180°:
180° = a° + b° + c°
c° = 180° - a° - b°
c° = 180° - 68° - 39° = 73°
An asteroid belt holds many of the asteroids in our solar system. It is located between the orbits of which planets?
Mars and Jupiter
The solar system also contains over a million rocky fragments of at least 1km in diameter called asteroids as well as millions more with smaller diameters. Many of these asteroids are an asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter.
Which of the following statements about drill bits is not true?
drill bits are primarily left-handed
Drill bits remove material to create holes. They come in a variety of sizes, maxing out at ¼" for woodworking and ½" for metalworking. The majority of drill bits are right-handed which means they cut while rotating in a clockwise direction.
Which of the following will increase the mechanical advantage of this inclined plane?
lengthen the ramp
The mechanical advantage (MA) of an inclined plane is the effort distance divided by the resistance distance. In order to increase mechanical advantage, this ratio must increase which means making the effort distance longer and this can be accomplished by lengthening the length of the ramp.
Which of the following is not true about simple magnets?
opposite poles repel each other
Simple magnets have two poles, north and south, and opposite poles attract each other (N attracts S, S attracts N). Likewise, the same pole of two magnets repel (N repels N, S repels S). The Earth has a magnetic field and North and South Poles which enables the use of a magnetic compass to determine direction.
__________ and __________ pair to strengthen bones.
vitamin D, calcium
Vitamin D helps calcium strengthen bones while also aiding muscle, nerve, and immune system function.
Molecules and atoms that are inputs to a chemical reaction are known as which of the following?
reactants
During a chemical reaction molecules and atoms (reactants) are rearranged into new combinations that result in new kinds of atoms or molecules (products).
The rate of flow of electrons per unit time is which of the following?
current
Current is the rate of flow of electrons per unit time and is measured in amperes (A). A coulomb (C) is the quantity of electricity conveyed in one second by a current of one ampere.
