What function does a two-stroke cycle engine perform on the second stroke?
combustion and exhaust
The two strokes of a two-stroke cycle engine are fuel intake and compression then combustion and exhaust.
When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are __________ (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are __________ (they're equal).
supplementary, vertical
Angles around a line add up to 180°. Angles around a point add up to 360°. When two lines intersect, adjacent angles are supplementary (they add up to 180°) and angles across from either other are vertical (they're equal).
This tool is a(n) __________.
outside caliper
Calipers are similar to micrometers in shape but instead of measuring distances, calipers are used to transfer distances between objects. An outside caliper is used to transfer outside dimensions while an inside caliper is used to transfer inside distances. A vernier caliper is an extremely precise caliper (down to \({1 \over 1000}\) inch) that allows measuring / transferring either inside or outside dimensions.
Which of the following is the correct order for the engine stroke cycle?
intake, compression, power, exhaust
The stroke cycle order is intake stroke, compression stroke, power stroke, exhaust stroke.
Plant cells are surrounded by:
a cell membrane and a cell wall
Animal cells are surrounded by a semipermeable membrane which allows for the transfer of water and oxygen to and from the cell. In plant cells, the cell membrane is surrounded by a somewhat rigid cell wall which provides the cell structure and support.
A box is resting on a smooth floor. Static friction is present:
when an attempt is made to move the box
For any given surface, the coefficient of static friction is higher than the coefficient of kinetic friction. More force is required to initally get an object moving than is required to keep it moving. Additionally, static friction only arises in response to an attempt to move an object (overcome the normal force between it and the surface).
Which of these is a type of Earth's crust?
oceanic
The crust is the Earth's outermost layer and is divided into oceanic and continental types. Oceanic crust is 3 miles (5 km) to 6 miles (10 km) thick and is composed primarily of denser rock. Continental crust is 20 to 30 miles (30 to 50 km) thick and composed primarily of less dense rock. The crust makes up approximately one percent of the Earth's total volume.
What part of the brain is responsible for for balance, movement, and muscle coordination?
cerebellum
The cerebellum is a large cluster of nerves at the base of the brain that's responsible for balance, movement, and muscle coordination.
