How are the cylinders numbered in V-type engines?
cylinder numbering varies by manufacturer
In V-type engines the numbering sequence varies by manufacturer.
One of the lights on your Christmas tree burns out and this causes the rest of the lights connected to that strand to go dark. How are the lights in that strand connected?
series
Lights connected in series form a chain with each light connecting to adjacent lights via one wire. Therefore, if one of the lights burns out and breaks the series, none of the other lights will receive power and they'll go dark. Lights connected in parallel each connect to the positive and negative nodes of the power source and would not go dark if one of their neighbors burnt out.
The electrical potential difference between two points is called:
voltage
Voltage (V) is the electrical potential difference between two points. Electrons will flow as current from areas of high potential (concentration of electrons) to areas of low potential. Voltage and current are directly proportional in that the higher the voltage applied to a conductor the higher the current that will result.
What is \( \frac{3}{3} \) - \( \frac{5}{5} \)?
To subtract these fractions, first find the lowest common multiple of their denominators. The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 share.
Next, convert the fractions so each denominator equals the lowest common multiple:
\( \frac{3 x 5}{3 x 5} \) - \( \frac{5 x 3}{5 x 3} \)
\( \frac{15}{15} \) - \( \frac{15}{15} \)
Now, because the fractions share a common denominator, you can subtract them:
\( \frac{15 - 15}{15} \) = \( \frac{0}{15} \) =
__________ is caused by a lack of Vitamin C.
scurvy
Scurvy is a difficiency disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C in the diet.
In the heart, blood flows from the right __________ to the lungs then back to the heart via the left __________.
ventricle, atrium
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 these is not necessary for combustion?
accelerant
Combustion is the burning of an air-fuel mixture to provide energy. It requires the presence of air, fuel, and a heat source to ignite the air-fuel mixture. In the internal combustion engine that powers automobiles and trucks the combustion happens inside the engine utilzing a fuel like gasoline, diesel fuel, or natural gas.
