The fuel injector is regulated by the __________ which is the main computer that controls engine and transmission functions.
powertrain control module
The fuel injector sprays fuel into the air stream that's being fed into the cylinder head via the intake valve. The timing and amount of fuel are regulated by the powertrain control module (PCM) which is the main computer that controls engine and transmission functions.
Solve for x:
-6x + 9 = -7 + 7x
To solve this equation, repeatedly do the same thing to both sides of the equation until the variable is isolated on one side of the equal sign and the answer on the other.
-6x + 9 = -7 + 7x
-6x = -7 + 7x - 9
-6x - 7x = -7 - 9
-13x = -16
x = \( \frac{-16}{-13} \)
x = 1\(\frac{3}{13}\)
Which of the following saws is not good for cutting wood?
hacksaw
A hacksaw has replaceable blades and is used to cut metal. The blade type is chosen based on the material that is to be cut. Blades with larger numbers of teeth per inch are more appropriate for cutting thinner materials.
Electricity cannot flow...
through an open circuit
An electrical circuit is a path through which electricity flows. This path contains one or more components that create a load (something that is using electricity) and that load acts as resistance to the passage of electricity through the circuit. Electricity can only flow through a circuit when the path is closed and cannot flow through an open circuit.
The force required to initally get an object moving is __________ the force required to keep it moving.
higher than
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 the following would be used in eye glasses to correct farsightedness?
convex lens
Unlike curved mirrors that operate on the principle of reflection, lenses utilize refraction. A convex lens is thicker in the middle than on the edges and converges light while a concave lens is thicker on the edges than in the middle and diffuses light. A common use for curved lenses is in eye glasses where a convex lens is used to correct farsightedness and a concave lens is used to correct nearsightedness.
For a hydraulic system, pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure in which parts of the system?
all of these are correct
Pascal's law states that a pressure change occurring anywhere in a confined incompressible fluid is transmitted throughout the fluid such that the same change occurs everywhere. For a hydraulic system, this means that a pressure applied to the input of the system will increase the pressure everywhere in the system.
If the ratio of home fans to visiting fans in a crowd is 3:1 and all 38,000 seats in a stadium are filled, how many home fans are in attendance?
A ratio of 3:1 means that there are 3 home fans for every one visiting fan. So, of every 4 fans, 3 are home fans and \( \frac{3}{4} \) of every fan in the stadium is a home fan:
38,000 fans x \( \frac{3}{4} \) = \( \frac{114000}{4} \) = 28,500 fans.
