You've bored a large hole in a piece of wood to insert a doorknob. Which of these tools would you use to smooth the edges of the hole?
rasp
Files consist of diagonal rows of fine teeth and are used for fine finishing work to smooth, polish, or shape objects. Rasps are files with larger teeth that are used for coarse finishing work. Both files and rasps are designed to be inserted into detachable handles.
Solve for x:
2x + 2 < 8 - 8x
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 < sign and the answer on the other.
2x + 2 < 8 - 8x
2x < 8 - 8x - 2
2x + 8x < 8 - 2
10x < 6
x < \( \frac{6}{10} \)
x < \(\frac{3}{5}\)
What is the distance in miles of a trip that takes 1 hour at an average speed of 50 miles per hour?
Average speed in miles per hour is the number of miles traveled divided by the number of hours:
speed = \( \frac{\text{distance}}{\text{time}} \)Solving for distance:
distance = \( \text{speed} \times \text{time} \)
distance = \( 50mph \times 1h \)
50 miles
Absolute zero is which of the following?
the coldest temperature possible in the universe
In contrast to the Celsius scale (measured in degrees centigrade) that fixes 0° at the freezing point of water and the Fahrenheit scale that uses 32°, the Kelvin scale fixes 0 at absolute zero (-273°C) which is the lowest temperature possible in the universe.
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.
Blood is delivered to bodily tissues through:
capillaries
The aorta is the body's largest artery and receives blood from the pulmonary vein via the left ventricle. From there, blood is circulated through the rest of the body through smaller arteries called arterioles that branch out from the heart. Finally, blood is delivered to bodily tissues through capillaries.
For inline cylinder arrangements in an engine, how are the cylinders numbered?
sequentially from the front of the engine to the back
Inline cylinder arrangements number cylinders sequentially (1, 2, 3, ...) front to rear.
