Convert -20C° to F°.
-4
To convert from C° to F° use:
\(F° = {9 \over 5}C° + 32\)
\(F° = {9 \over 5}(-20) + 32\)
\(F° = {-180 \over 5} + 32\)
\(F° = -36 + 32 = -4\)
A diode to an electronic circuit is like a _______________ to a city?
one-way street
A diode allows current to pass easily in one direction and blocks current in the other direction.
Which engine component converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components?
crankshaft
The crankshaft converts the reciprocating motion of the piston into the rotational motion that's used to power the vehicle and its components.
Earth's breathable air is held in which atmospheric layer?
troposphere
The Earth's atmosphere has several layers starting with the troposphere which is closest in proximity to the surface. Containing most of the Earth's breathable air (oxygen and nitrogen), it's a region with warmer temperatures closer to the surface and cooler temperatures farther away which results in the rising and falling air that generates weather.
Which of the following statements about electrical resistance is true?
the more resistive the conductor is the slower electron flow will be
Resistance is opposition to the flow of current. As resistance increases, current decreases as resistance and current are inversely proportional.
Longer the electrical wires mean _______________ voltage drop.
greater
Electrical wires have a certain amount of resistance per foot. A longer wire means more resistance and a greater voltage drop.
This property states taht the order of addition or multiplication does not mater. For example, 2 + 5 and 5 + 2 are equivalent.
commutative
The commutative property states that, when adding or multiplying numbers, the order in which they're added or multiplied does not matter. For example, 3 + 4 and 4 + 3 give the same result, as do 3 x 4 and 4 x 3.
Blood pressure is generally highest in which of the following?
arteries
Arteries are thick-walled because they carry oxygenated blood at high pressure, veins are comparatively thin-walled as they carry low-pressure deoxygenated blood.
